Hellos and Goodbyes

Prof Tom Salt joined the Institute in 1989 and was promoted to Professor of Visual Science 10 years later. Over that period Tom has developed a strong research programme in Visual Neuroscience, making a number of notable contributions to the field and taught on several UCL programmes. We wish Tom a happy retirement and look forward to seeing him in his Emeritus role.

Dr R Beau Lotto left the Institute of Ophthalmology in April having spent 15 years in the Department of Visual Neuroscience. Beau contributed to research in a number of areas, including bee vision and human visual perception.  More recently Beau has aimed to blur the boundaries between neuro­science and the arts which included involving the public in experiments conducted at the Science Museum.

The following staff have joined, or in some cases re-joined the Institute in the last four months and we would like to welcome them to Bath St:
