Eden Clothier
Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Psychology
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
I am currently a first-year PhD candidate and am interested in the improvement of facial identification processes for under-researched groups. Specifically, my PhD focuses on researching how to improve performance on facial comparison tasks used to identify children. My broad interests include applied research, human identification, cognitive science, forensic science, and data visualisation and communication.
My research focuses on facial identifications of children, with the aim of exploring and evaluating ways to improve performance on these tasks for child protection purposes. I am supervised by A/Prof Carolyn Semmler, Dr Dana Michalski, and Dr Rachel Searston.
