Early life and education
editHayhoe is from Australia. She was an undergraduate student at the University of Queensland, where she majored in psychology and mathematics.[1] She then moved to England and studied at the University of Cambridge from 1970-1973.[2] In 1973, Hayhoe moved to the United States, and joined Florida State University as a research associate in psychology. Hayhoe joined the University of California, San Diego for graduate research, where she studied how eyes adapt to dark light environments.[3]
Career and research
editHayhoe was appointed to the faculty at the University of California, Irvine and Columbia University.[when?][citation needed] She moved to the University of Rochester in 1984, where she was promoted from assistant to associate and eventually full professor.[4] In 1998, she was made Director of the Cognitive Science Program. In 2006, Hayhoe left Rochester and joined the University of Texas at Austin.[1]
Hayhoe's research considers visual sensation and the relationships between vision and movement.[5][6]
