Profile
I have a PhD in Cognitive Psychology from the University of York (2016). I worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Texas at Dallas (2016-2018), and was a Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Psychology and Associate Director of the Centre for Cognition and Neuroscience at the University of Huddersfield (2018-2024). I joined the University of Leeds in October 2024.
Research interests
My research focuses on human and machine face and person identification and human machine system interactions. I investigate how humans and machines identify faces and people, how accurate they are at identity comparisons, and how we can improve human and machine face and person recognition performance, particularly in challenging recognition scenarios.
My recent research projects include investigation of the performance of face recognition algorithms, and human-machine systems as well as identification performance of super-recognisers, and forensic examiners. I am interested in recognition, detection and perceptions of real faces, manipulated faces, and AI faces as well as person identification from cues beyond the face.
I work with applied users of face recognition internationally, including police and forensic face examiners and have conducted large scale studies of performance testing. I actively contribute to UK and international best practice guidelines and policy on face identification and biometrics.
