I study how the statistical structure of natural visual environments shapes perception in flying animals. Using spectrally calibrated camera systems and computer vision methods, I measure the spatial and temporal properties of natural scenes, using ground and drone-based imaging. My goal is to understand what visual information is available to animals during flight and how environmental changes, particularly artificial light at night, alter the visual statistics animals rely on for perception and navigation.

What excites me...

I am fascinated by how animals perceive the world and what information natural environments provide to their visual systems. I enjoy combining field measurements, imaging technology, and computational analysis to quantify visual environments. I am particularly interested in how human-driven changes such as light pollution modify the visual statistics of natural scenes and how these changes may affect perception and behavior in animals.
