Short CV
Since 2012 | Professor at Buskerud University College, Kongsberg, Norge |
2005-2012 | Associate Professor at Buskerud University College, Kongsberg, Norge |
2002-2005 | Post Doctoral fellow in the Visual and Computational Neuroscience Laboratory, University of Manchester, UK |
1997-2002 | PhD in Optometry and Visual Science, Visual Science Laboratory, University of Manchester, UK |
We combine experimental and clinical psychophysics with high-resolution retinal imaging (adaptive optics and OCT), and genetics to study the functional implications of normal and abnormal structural changes in the eye's photoreceptor layer and how this relates to how we see colour, spatial pattern and motion.
