Research Interests: 
My research interests are in the neural correlates of visual and cognitive perception of different interface designs.  In particular, I am interested in the effects of different character designs on perception and learning using behavioral and neurophysiological measures, such as an electroencephalography (EEG) technique called event-related potentials. My work hopes to inform the design of online learning environments.
