Research Experience Post Doctoral Research Fellow. • Department of Neurology • University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. • Current research projects are aimed at examining the role of the vestibular system in the control of eye and head movements as well as the biomechanics of body posture and balance. • Supervisor: David Solomon, M.D., Ph.D. 1994 - 1998 Research Assistant in Space and Motion Perception. • Department of Psychology • Kent State University, Kent, OH. • Responsible for conducting experiments that attempt to determine the nature of the characteristics that people use to perceive the world around them. Research specifically aimed at the proprioceptive contributions to the perception of body tilt, multisensory representational modeling of space, the learning components in the viewing of divergent random dot stereograms, and realism in virtual reality. Other interests include physiological bases of perception, visual illusions, and biases. • Supervisor: Michael K. McBeath, Ph.D. 1992 - 1994 Research Assistant in Sensation and Perception. • Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA. • Responsible for conducting experiments to determine the nature of size and distance illusions, specifically studied the moon illusion, size-distance invariance, Emmert´s law, and applications for stereoptic viewing. • Supervisor: David W, Milne, Ph.D. 1990 - 1992 Research Assistant in Psychobiology. • Lebanon Valley College, Annville, PA. • Responsible for conducting independent research investigating the physiological bases of ingestive behavior. • Supervisor: Steven M. Specht, Ph.D.
