I am interested in “how we see”.  At the level of the retina, I am interested in how the visual world gets represented as patterns of spikes traveling down the optic nerve. At higher levels, I am interested in how the brain computes biologically relevant properties of the visual world like the motion and pose of objects with these spikes.

I concentrate my work at the interface between biology and physics, theory, and experiment, and I draw strongly on the tools of information theory and signal processing.

I am also interested in the application of this knowledge to practical problems including building biologically-inspired algorithms and devices for machine vision.
