My PhD research focused on developing tools to assesss perceptions of female body size/shape. I have developed novel computer-generated tools to assess perceptions of weight and body composition and a body size perception intervention for women with high body concerns. I am interested in perceptions of body size and shape (i.e. accuracy, weight, ideals, attractiveness) mostly using computer-generated imagery and 3D scanning technology - this could be perceptions related to oneself or judgments about other bodies. I also look at how perceptions are related to psychological, sociocultural, and biological factors.
My technical skills include advanced data analysis (using both 'SPSS' and 'R'), and the use of 3D body scanning technology, 3D modelling software, and virtual reality. I have worked with a variety of samples including toddlers and adults up to the age of 74 years old.
