Current
Iwo Bohr
Lab member during 2012
Iwo is working on an industry-funded project, analysing optometric, orthoptic and other data.
Fredrik Allenmark
Lab member 2008 – 2012
Fredrik was formerly my PhD student and is now employed for one year on a grant from the NHS Flexibility and Sustainability Award scheme. He is developing visual stimuli to test mechanisms of double and single vision in a variety of clinical groups.

Former
Ignacio Serrano-Pedraza
Lab member 2008 – 2010
Ignacio obtained his PhD in Experimental Psychology from the Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain, in 2005. He then spent three years working as a Senior Research Assistant with Andrew Derrington at Newcastle and Kent, before returning to Newcastle as my first post-doc, supported by an award from the Medical Research Council. During his time in my lab, Ignacio published several papers investigating how the stereo vision system detects, encodes and uses vertical disparity. In collaboration with Mr Michael Clarke, a consultant paediatric ophthalmologist at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, he also studied how binocular vision is altered in children with intermittent exotropia. He left my lab in December 2010 to take up a permanent lectureship back at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

Deborah Buck
Lab member May – Aug 2010
Debbie usually works in the Eye Clinic at the Royal Victoria Infirmary but spent a couple of months with us. She received support from the NHS’s Flexibility and Sustainibility funding in order to help study visual perception in intermittent exotropia and develop new tests of stereo vision for use in the clinic.
