Ahmed M. Megreya interested in visual cognition generally, and in face recognition particularly.From September 2002 so far, I am joining Professor Mike Burton’s face recognition lab group at the department of Psychology, University of Glasgow, UK. This is highly distinguished group consisted of several well-known researchers working on different
aspects of face processing. Very recently, I am interested in processing orientation, and the interference between local and global processing. In addition, I set up an Egyptian face matching database, which is used recently by researchers at some British Universities such as Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Essex.
