Psychology Research Interests

My PhD research is concerned with facial recognition (FR). More specifically, this research includes an assessment of human FR performance on mainly access control tasks (e.g., ID/passport checking). It also incorporates an assessment of some automated FR systems to subsequently conduct comparative evaluations with human FR performance. It is anticipated that outcomes of this research will provide an insight into human FR performance in a realistic/operational setting and the way that it may be affected by certain factors. This should serve to input into the development of various training programs to potentially improve human FR performance. In addition, the results from this research should provide an initial indication about some of the differences and similarities between human and certain automated systems’ FR performance
