| About: |
I am Junior Professor in Spatial Cognition - a branch of cognitive science studying how people think about, think in, and think with space. My background and approach are interdisciplinary, with an MA in psychology, a PhD from a department of architecture, and postdoctoral experience in geoinformatics.
Methods I work with include virtual reality, mobile eye-tracking, spatial computation, Bayesian statistics, and architectural theory of Space Syntax.
I am a Visiting Fellow at Future Cities Lab in Singapore, an Associate Editor at the newly-funded open-access Journal of Global Environmental Psychology, and head of the faculty's Ethics Committee. Prior to coming to Germany I was at Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK.
