Professor of Psychology and Department Chair

I have a broad range of interests in Cognitive Science. My research examines the use of technology in learning, both as a means of understanding how we learn, and as a method for improving on existing approaches. My current interests are in visualization and virtual reality, especially as they apply to understanding and navigating through space. I am also engaged in collaborative research projects investigating how virtual reality tools can be used to assess and improve social interaction for persons with autism.
