My research focuses primarily on colour vision: modelling colour perception in variant forms of colour vision; chromatic discrimination across the lifespan; changes in colour appearance caused by luminance variation; cross-cultural and bilingual studies of colour naming and colour categorisation. Another (non-mainstream) line of my research is related to cognitive mechanisms of perception of emotional facial expressions and of aesthetic appraisal of visual stimuli.
