Dr Daniel Roberts is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology within the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences at the University of Liverpool. His research focuses on the neurocognitive bases of visual and language processing, their interconnectedness, and how these processes become disrupted in conditions such as dyslexia, visual neglect, object agnosias, face recognition disorders, and semantic impairments. Dr Roberts completed his PhD in Cognitive Neuropsychology at the University of Manchester in 2010 under the supervision of Prof Matt Lambon-Ralph, following an MRes in Research Methods (2006) and BSc in Psychological Sciences (2005), also from the University of Manchester. PhD (2010): Cognitive Neuropsychology, University of Manchester MRes (2006): Research Methods, University of Manchester BSc (2005): Psychological Sciences, University of Manchester His research employs a multimethod approach including cross-population behavioral studies (individuals with brain damage, developmental disorders, and neurotypical individuals), neuroimaging, awake craniotomy, and visual psychophysics. Key areas of investigation include disorders of reading (developmental and acquired dyslexias), vision (e.g., neglect), object processing (agnosias), face recognition (prosopagnosia), semantics (e.g., dementias, HSVE), and bilingualism effects on visual and phonological processing in dyslexic readers. Dr Roberts' recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on dyslexia research, particularly examining visual and phonological processing impairments across different languages and orthographic depths. His work combines theoretical cognitive neuropsychology with practical clinical applications, aiming to develop better diagnostic tools and interventions. He has published in leading journals including Cognitive Neuropsychology, Annals of Dyslexia, Frontiers in Psychology, and Cerebral Cortex. As a supervisor, Dr Roberts works with several PhD students including Emma Austin (researching imagery in aphantasia), Rachel Dudley-Jones (studying substance use and neurocognitive processing in collaboration with Liverpool John Moores University), and Qi Zhou (investigating the role of language in arithmetic and algebraic operations in children). He serves as Module Coordinator for RESEARCH DISSERTATION IN PSYCHOLOGY (PSYC646) and RESEARCH METHODS AND STATISTICS (PSYC640), and teaches the RESEARCH PROJECT module (PSYC340). Emma Austin: Imagery in aphantasia (Co-supervisor: Dr Reshanne Reeder) Rachel Dudley-Jones: Substance use and neurocognitive processing (Co-supervisors: Dr Samantha Brooks, Prof Cathy Montgomery, Dr Kanayo Umeh, Prof Kate Cockcroft) Qi Zhou: Role of language in arithmetic and algebraic operation in children (Co-supervisors: Dr Jike Qin, Prof Jeong Jin Yu) Dr Roberts maintains active clinical collaborations through honorary research fellowships with The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust (since 2018), Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (since 2020), and The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (since 2020), focusing on stroke health informatics and improving neurosurgical interventions for brain tumor patients. He is a member of several professional organizations including the British Neuroscience Association, British Psychological Society, and Society for the Scientific Study of Reading.

Dr. Patric Wyss is a Research Associate at the School of Applied Psychology, University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) and concurrently serves as a Research Associate at the Institute for Social and Preventive Medicine (ISPM), University of Bern. His interdisciplinary work bridges psychology, data science, and healthcare, focusing on innovative approaches to health diagnostics and workplace mental health. Dr. Wyss completed his academic training at the University of Bern, Switzerland with a Doctorate in Biomedical Sciences (2019-2022), Master's degree in Statistics and Data Science (2017-2020), Master's degree in Psychology (2014-2017), and Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a Minor in Mathematics (2010-2014). His research interests center on work and health, predicting health variables with complex algorithms, and data-driven personalized health diagnostics. Dr. Wyss has made significant contributions to dementia diagnosis through data-driven approaches, cognitive assessment tools, and digital interventions for mental health. His work often integrates machine learning with clinical psychology to develop predictive models for health outcomes. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly dementia and cognitive decline in aging populations. His research increasingly incorporates digital health technologies, virtual reality, and algorithmic approaches to develop personalized diagnostic tools. The publications demonstrate a progression from fundamental cognitive neuroscience to applied health diagnostics with practical workplace applications. Dr. Wyss has been actively involved in several significant projects including Digital Balance, Healthy@Work, and work-related stress and mental disorders in the workplace. His current position at the Institute for Mental and Organizational Health at FHNW focuses on how digitalization, social upheavals, and new forms of work present both opportunities and challenges for mental and organizational health. His professional activities include research collaboration across multiple institutions, development of digital assessment tools, and investigation of HR analytics applications for health monitoring. Dr. Wyss has also contributed to the development of serious games for cognitive assessment and rehabilitation, particularly for older adults and patients with neurological conditions.
