I study human vision, particularly binocular stereopsis and the representation of 3D structure. Currently, my main interest is in how the visual system could represent the shape of surfaces and the layout of a scene when the observer is free to move. I trained as a doctor in Cambridge and studied stereo vision for my DPhil. in the Psychology department at Oxford.

Together with a group of researchers in the Physiology, Psychology and Engineering departments at Oxford I have set up an immersive virtual reality laboratory to study spatial perception and motor control in freely-moving observers. The lab could not run without Stuart Gilson.

I have also studied the representation of surface shape from binocular disparity with Yury Petrov, Suzanne McKee and Andrew Parker.
