Research Interests
I am interested in human vision, machine vision, and computational modeling
of visual processing. My primary research is concerned with how the
visual system estimates object properties from the information available
in the light signal incident at the eye. To study this general problem,
I conduct psychophysical experiments to investigate questions such as
how object color appearance is related to object surface properties
under a wide range of illumination conditions and how color is used
to identify objects. In addition, I am interested in developing machine
visual systems that can mimic human performance and in understanding
the neural mechanisms of vision.
