Dr.
David Robbins, Homer C. Lucus University Professor, has been at Ohio Wesleyan
since 1973. Prior to joining the university he was a principal investigator
in the Department of Physiology and later Director of Research at the
Eye Research Foundation of Bethesda, Maryland, affiliated with the Department
of Ophthalmology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He
also taught part-time on the campus of the National Institutes of Health.
For over thirty years Dr. Robbins received federal support from the Department
of Defense to study the adverse effects that intense laser light has on
the physiology and function of the primate visual system. These research
grants have funded numerous student research assistantships. His other
research interests include single cell recordings of reptile visual brain
areas, the physiological bases of sleep, and encoding and recognition
of the human face. In 1980 he received the Sherwood Dodge Shankland Award
for the Encouragement of Teachers and in 1994 the Bishop Herbert Welch
Meritorious Teaching Award. He was department chair of psychology for
over 20 years before in 2005 becoming the Provost at Ohio Wesleyan University.
