Prof Anna Ma-Wyatt
Research Professor
School of Psychology
College of Education, Behavioural and Social Sciences
Prof Anna Ma-Wyatt was trained in experimental psychology, behavioural neuroscience and vision science, and her career has evolved to now focus on active vision and human-autonomy teaming. She is a recognised expert in human vision (especially eye movements and goal directed movement) and human-autonomy teaming. In 2021, Prof Ma-Wyatt became the inaugural co-Director of CROSSING, the first French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) International Research Lab (IRL) in Australia. Its topic is humans-autonomous agents teaming, and it is a partnership between CNRS, the University of Adelaide, IMT-Atlantique, Flinders University, UniSA and Naval Group. Prof Ma-Wyatt took on the role of Digi+ Academic Lead in 2023 for the FAME Research Strategy at the University of Adelaide. Her portfolio includes missions in Critical minerals, information capability, space, autonomous systems and quantum materials. In 2024, she was appointed the Director of Astronaut-autonomy teaming in the Andy Thomas Centre for Space Resources at the University of Adelaide. Prof Ma-Wyatt also holds a number of advisory and governance positions in the university and industry sectors. She is the past President of the Australasian Experimental Psychology Society (2024). She sits on the Advisory Board for the Workforce, Innovation and Culture stream for Defence Trailblazer and is also on the steering committee for the Centre for Advanced Defence Research in Robotics and Autonomous systems. Active Vision Lab Team: Prof Ma-Wyatt is very fortunate to have a very talented team of postdoctoral fellows and PhD students working with her. Please check out their profiles below.
We study how people use visual information to guide eye and hand movements as they interact with the world. We investigate how people represent visual space to plan and update these movements, how attention is deployed and updated during these movements, and how these representations change with visual field loss and healthy ageing.
We partner with industry to understand how to leverage human performance for the design and assessment of human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and next generation concepts for human-AI interaction and human-autonomy teaming. Our approach is multidisciplinary, and brings together expertise in AI, machine learning, engineering, maths as well as human factors.
