Dr. Paul Morrill

Biography

I have an honours degree in Psychology (GBC accredited) and a Ph.D. in Vision Science (Optometry) awarded by the University of Bradford (2003). Following my Ph.D., I conducted work on an EPSRC funded project investigating models of visual texture perception. Following post-doctoral work, I lectured in biological and cognitive psychology at Trinity & All Saints College, University of Leeds  (lecturer), and Leeds Metropolitan University (Senior Lecturer) until 2008. I am currently employed by the Division of Psychology as a learning support officer.

Research

Vision science:  Research output is not part of my role at the University of Bradford. However, I retain an interest in low-level vision and visual perception. I have also provided technical/programming support on recent refereed journal articles.
