Senior lecturer in Psychology
Summary
Olga is the course leader for the MSc psychology conversion course. She is also part of the teaching team for several modules of Cognitive Psychology, Statistics, Research Methods and the Dissertation module on both undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs.
About
Olga obtained her master degree from Moscow State University (Russia) in 2005 in Cognitive and Management Psychology. In 2011 she received her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Trieste (Italy). After her PhD degree she worked in Italy at the Universities of Pavia, Parma and Milano-Bicocca. She joined Sheffield Hallam University in 2018. Her main areas of interest are in psychology of perception, psychology of art, research methods and psychophysics. In particular, she is interested in visual and haptic illusions, using them as a tool to study perceptual mechanisms. She is also interested in lightness and brightness perception, the organisation of the visual field, and the perception and representation of affective facial expressions.
