Dr Tamara Gheorghes

I joined the School of Psychology at the University of Leicester soon after completing my PhD in Psychology (Visual Perception) at Sheffield Hallam University. Before that, I graduated with a MSc in Advanced Biological Sciences (Evolutionary Psychology) from the University of Liverpool and a double specialisation BSc (Psychology and Biology) from UAIC University of Iasi.

My research area is visual perception with a focus on trajectory perception and visual illusions.
