Jeffrey B. Mulligan

Biography

Jeffrey B. Mulligan received the A.B. degree in physics from Harvard College in 1980 and the Ph.D. degree in psychology from the University of California at San Diego in 1986. He is currently a computer engineer at the NASA Ames Research Center, where his primary research interests are human spatial vision (with emphasis on motion perception and eye movements) and image processing. He is a member of the Optical Society of America, the Association for Research on Vision and Ophthalmology, and the Society for Information Display.
