I am the Director of the Gettysburg College AI Initiative. The purpose of the initiative is to support Gettysburg College in its effort to prepare students to flourish in the age of AI.

I am also a professor of psychology and direct the Perception Lab, where I investigate the visual perception of people.  A major focus is developing biologically-based accounts of makeup and other techniques of personal decoration. My discovery that some people are face “super-recognizers” has begun to transform policing, especially in the UK. In a newer line of research, I am exploring how humans, societies, and cultures affect AI, and are affected by AI.
