My research is in the field of content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Specifically, I am interested in applying knowledge gained from an understanding of the human visual system to challenges faced by CBIR systems. More recent work has applied cognitive and neurophysiological models to cybersecurity.

Articles and citations are available from my Google Scholar page, including in the BibTeX format.
