Kurzinfo
Meine Forschung beschäftigt sich mit der visuellen Wahrnehmung und Kognition von Objekten, Formen, Transformationen und Materialien. Insbesondere versuche ich zu verstehen wie wir einfache und komplexe perzeptuelle Merkmale mit visueller Kognition in eine einheitliche Repräsentation unserer Umwelt integrieren. Zur Klärung dieser Frage verwende ich eine Kombination aus Computergrafik, Psychophysik und Computermodellierung.
