Visual Signals from Real-Life and Rendered Iridescent Objects

Studying the perception of iridescence in Hannah Smithson's Lab, I explored how individuals describe and interact with dynamic, color-shifting materials through free-naming tasks and physical interaction using a High Dynamic Range (HDR) display and real stimuli.

In John Henderson's Visual Cognition Lab at the University of California, Davis, I led the development of a dataset exploring how semantic roles influence search performance for target and distractor objects.
