Trosolwyg

Fy mhrif faes arbenigedd yw canfyddiad gweledol.  Fy niddordeb arbennig yw canfyddiad gweledol ar gyfer hunan-symudiad ac yn ystod fy niddordeb.  Dros y blynyddoedd mae'r diddordeb hwnnw wedi fy arwain i gydweithio â chydweithwyr yng Nghaerdydd ac ymhell y tu hwnt mewn golwg gyfrifiadurol, niwroleg a niwroseicoleg, optometreg, rheolaeth echddygol, roboteg a delweddu ymennydd.  Rwyf hefyd wedi gweithio mewn, ac ar gyfer, cwmnïau diwydiannol ar ddwy ochr Môr yr Iwerydd.

Ar hyd y ffordd, rwyf hefyd wedi crwydro i feysydd eraill (e.e. gwneud penderfyniadau a chanfod amser), ac yn ddiweddar rwyf wedi mynd ar daith fawr i'r hinsawdd a bioamrywiaeth.  Gyda chydweithwyr mewn mannau eraill, sefydlais y "prosiect 1in5", fframwaith i hwyluso myfyrwyr a staff sydd eisiau ffordd hawdd o ymgysylltu â'r hinsawdd a bioamrywiaeth.  

Mae fy addysgu yn adlewyrchu fy niddordebau ymchwil.  Rwy'n gydlynydd modiwl ar gyfer modiwl blwyddyn gyntaf (Ymchwil Seicolegol) a ddisgrifir orau fel "cwrs trochi" i helpu israddedigion newydd i ddeall sut mae ymchwil yn gweithio a'i bwysigrwydd.  Rwyf hefyd yn cyd-ddysgu modiwl blwyddyn olaf (Problemau Synhwyrol mewn Gweledigaeth a Gweithredu).

Addysgu

Lecturing
I am the module coordinator for the first year module, "Psychological Research".  I also lecture on the final year vision module, now named, "Sensational Problems in Perception and Action", with Tom Freeman.

Tutorials and project supervision
I take second year tutorials and supervise final year projects.

Postgraduate
I supervise a number of PhD students.  Typically it is joint supervision with a colleague in Psychology, but sometimes beyond, such as in Optometry.

Bywgraffiad

I first did an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Computer Science at Wolverhampton Polytechnic.  During the course of the degree I spent a placement year at a human factors research laboratory (LUTCHI) at Loughborough University.  It was at LUTCHI that I was first introduced to the study of human vision by Ronnie Luo (colour vision) and Steve Scrivener (human inspired computer vision).

After my undergrauate degree I went to Edinburgh University to work as a postgraduate research assistant on a grant on perception and action in Virtual Reality (VR) with John Wann.  While I was there I did a part-time PhD with Hamish Macleod as my supervisor.  My PhD focused on visually guided walking and interceptive timing.  After obtaining a small project (1 year) grant from the MRC, I spent a year between Edinburgh University and Astley Ainslie hospital working with patients with unilateral visual neglect.  During that time I did work with David Johnson, Madeliene Greally and others on the use of VR and exercise as an intervention following brain injury.

After a short period of consultancy at Hewlett Packard's European research laboratory in Bristol, I interupted my PhD for a year.  During that time I worked with a UK-US team at HP on a "skunkworks" project building a head-mounted display (the idea was for something that might be mid-way between the later Google Glass and Microsoft Hololens).

After writing up my PhD I obtained a job in the US.  While I was waiting for my visa to be processed I had the fortune to spend 6-7 months in Surrey working with Mark Bradshaw.  The job in the US was at Cambridge Basic Research (CBR), in Cambridge, MA.  CBR was funded by Nissan and under the scientific direction of Ken Nakayama, Whitman Richards, Sandy Pentland and Warren Seering, profs from Harvard and MIT.  While I was at CBR I also jointly held an EPSRC grant in the UK with Tricia Riddell to look at the potential impact of VR displays on developing visual systems.  Fortunately Tricia and John Bullinaria did all the hard work while I was on the other side of the pond!

CBR closed but Nissan sent me on my way with a cheque to support myself for a year or two at the Centre for Vision Research, York University, Toronto.  I had a couple of enjoyable years there before returning to the UK

 At the end of 2003 I started as a lecturer at Cardiff University and I've remained at Cardiff since.
