Tom White

Hi, my name is Tom, I'm a PhD researcher, Graduate Teaching Assistant and Personal Development Coach at the University of Warwick.

My area of research concerns the potential psychological differences between people who collect objects (e.g., vinyl records, action figures, diecast cars and Listerine Bottles) and people who do not collect objects. My current focus is on how consumer products are perceived and evaluated by collectors and non-collectors. You can find out more at my

Dr Melina Kunar

Associate Professor, Department of Psychology.

Melina's research investigates how people pay attention to their environment and how they use this information to inform preferences and decision making. The findings have many applications for health, economic and socially important tasks, such as how to improve search for cancers in medical images, how to improve human interaction with technology/Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how distraction interferes with road safety and driving (for example, by talking on mobile phones). Melina has worked with driver education programs, police training forces and Local Authorities to educate road users about the importance of paying attention to the road and to minimise distraction while driving.
