Professional Biography
Jeremy Wolfe graduated summa cum laude from Princeton in 1977 with a degree in Psychology and went on to obtain his PhD in 1981 from MIT, studying with Richard Held. His PhD thesis was entitled "On Binocular Single Vision". Wolfe remained at MIT until 1991. During that period, he published papers on binocular rivalry, visual aftereffects, and accommodation. In the late 1980s, the focus of the lab shifted to visual attention. Since that time, his research has focused on visual search and visual attention with a particular interest in socially important search tasks in areas such as medical image perception (e.g. cancer screening) and security (e.g. baggage screening). His most cited works concern the development of his Guided Search theory. In 1991, Wolfe moved to Brigham and Women's Hospital where he is Director of the Visual Attention Lab. At Harvard Medical School, he is Professor of Ophthalmology and Professor of Radiology. His work is currently funded by the US National Institutes of Health and the Army Research Office. He has published over 175 peer-reviewed papers, 1 textbook, and 37 book chapters. Wolfe taught Psychology courses (mostly Introductory Psychology) at MIT & Harvard for 25 years.
