Dr. Dana L. Walker is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Psychology in Lingnan University. She received her PhD in Psychology from the University of Western Australia (UWA). 

She is a part of the Lingnan Visual Cognition Lab, directed by Prof. William Hayward (Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, and Chair Professor of Psychology at Lingnan University). The lab's research focus is understanding how we encode and make use of visual information in the world around us. 

Her research interests include: the processes behind how humans perceive faces (i.e., face detection, face differentiation, identity recognition, and expression recognition), human cognitive abilities (i.e., intelligence), and the Broader Autism Phenotype (i.e., trait-autism in neurotypical adults). Her current research at Lingnan University is centred around how faces become familiar with an emphasis on the neurological representations and behavioural correlates.
