Research interests

My research is about our ability to recognise and identify people’s faces, mostly focussed on eyewitness identification. Previously, I have worked extensively on 'face-space' models of face recognition, with emphasis on the roles of facial distinctiveness, ethnicity and caricature. Other projects have included work on rehabilitation of face memory after brain injury and exploring the structure of our knowledge for familiar people. I regularly provide expert advice on identification issues in criminal cases.

Current projects:

Effect of alcohol on eyewitness identification.
Identifying multiple perpetrators. (In collaboration with Zoe Hobson and Dr Rachel Wilcock, London South Bank University.)
Identifying perpetrators with distinctive marks. (In collaboration with Dr Dora Zarkadi, University of Bedfordshire.)

Recent projects

Street identifications and their role in the criminal justice system. (In collaboration with Dr Josh Davis, University of Greenwich, Prof Amina Memon, Royal Holloway, University of London, and Andrew Roberts, University of New South Wales.)
Enhancing the effectiveness of video identification. (In collaboration with Prof Amina Memon, Royal Holloway, University of London.)
Evaluation of a genetic algorithm-based system to generate facial composites from witnesses. (In collaboration with Dr Chris Solomon, University of Kent.)
Identification of faces from CCTV. (In collaboration with Dr Josh Davis, University of Greenwich.)
