Dr Harriet M. J. Smith

Harriet is an Independent Research Fellow in Psychology at Nottingham Trent University. Her PhD investigated novel face-voice matching. She tested whether people make similar judgments about strangers regardless of whether they see their face or hear their voice, and whether it is possible to match strangers’ faces to their voices.

Currently she is working on a number of projects relating to identity discrimination in forensic and security settings. These projects focus on:

  • Voice parade procedures

  • Novel face matching procedures

  • Forensic voice discrimination

In 2016 Harriet was awarded the PsyPAG Rising Researcher Award for herPhD research.
