Adam Wenzel

Adam Wenzel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Saint Anselm College, where he conducts research using psychophysical methods to investigate sensory systems. His primary focus is on macular pigment, a collection of dietarily-derived plant pigments in the human retina that may protect against disease and enhance visual acuity.

• Education: Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology (2004) from the University of New Hampshire

Research Interests: Dr. Wenzel’s work bridges vision science, sensory physiology, and nutritional neuroscience, emphasizing the functional role of macular pigment in retinal health and visual performance. His methods include empirical studies of sensory sensitivity and ocular health metrics.
