PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
Vision Scientists at Dartmouth: Co-organized conference of all vision scientists at Dartmouth, October 5th, 2005.
European Conference on Visual Perception Co-Organizer: I was a member of the five member executive committee in charge of organizing the 2005 ECVP, held in La Coruna, Galicia, Spain, in August, 2005. This is the largest visual psychophysics conference after Vision Sciences Society, with an annual attendance of about 1000 scientists, and Europe’s most prestigious. We were in charge of designing the meeting from scratch, since ECVP is held in a different European city every year. We organized funding, several symposia, and we organized all sessions, and invited all speakers. I led, organized, and spoke at a special symposium on the role of contour curvature in visual perception.
Member on and off of SFN, VSS, ECVP, CNS.
Refereeing for journals or reviewer of grants, including, over the past three years: Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Neuroimage, Cognition, Vision Research, Journal of Vision, Cerebral Cortex, Psychological Science, Cognitive Psychology, Experimental Brain research, Neuroimage, Perception, Neuroscience Letters, NSF grant reviewer, NIH grant reviewer.
I took part in the Young Faculty Leaders Forum at Harvard Education School, led by Richard Light and Howard Gardner. 30 faculty from across the nation have been invited to this ‘think tank’ to address the question of improving America’s public education system.
I went to DC in the Fall of 2011 to serve on an NSF grant panel, and to DC again in the Fall of 2014 to serve on an NIH R01/R21 grant panel.
