BIOGRAPHY
Paul Hibbard studied Psychology at University College London, where he gained a BSc and PhD . He then worked at the University of Surrey as a research fellow, and as a lecturer, then senior lecturer, as the University of St Andrews. He joined the department of Psychology in 2013.
RESEARCH OVERVIEW
His research interests are in visual perception, and address the question of how we perceive a three-dimensional world on the basis of the two-dimensional images formed in our two eyes. In particular, research projects focus on the perception of 3D shape from binocular vision and motion; and understanding how the visual system is adapted to the information in our natural environment.
