OLIVER BRADDICK
Oliver Braddick was Emeritus Professor and Fellow of Magdalen College in the University of Oxford. His position as chair of two of the UK’s leading psychology departments, in University College London and Oxford, gave him the range of knowledge in the subject that fit him to lead this cross-disciplinary project. He served as Editor in Chief for the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology from 2014 until his passing in 2022.
Oliver Braddick received his BA and PhD from the University of Cambridge. He completed postdoctoral work at Brown University and held a visiting appointment at the University of California, San Diego. His research focused in the field of visual perception and its brain mechanisms, notably in visual motion processing, and in the development of visual, visuomotor, and visuocognitive systems in infants and young children. In 1976, he established with Janette Atkinson the Visual Development unit in Cambridge (later in Oxford and UCL), which has carried out pioneering work on the early development of visual cortical mechanisms, on vision screening and binocular vision, and applied these methods to the assessment of infants at risk of perinatal brain injury. He was the author of over 200 scientific papers in these areas, and served on the Editorial Boards of the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Vision Research, Perception, and Current Biology.
He was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2001, of the Academia Europaea in 2008, and of the British Academy in 2012.

Dr. Rottenberg has been a pioneer in synthesizing affective and clinical science and is a subject matter expert on the topic of emotional functioning in depression. With his graduate students, Dr. Rottenberg's current research program examines the phenomenon of well-being after psychopathology. In representative national samples, he has demonstrated that a substantial number of people with significant mental health problems go on to experience high levels of psychological well-being. The long-term goals of this research are to explain why some people experience good outcomes and to optimize interventions that incorporate these insights in order to improve population mental health. His research has been generously funded by the National Institutes of Health. His publications include over 100 scientific articles and chapters and has two popular science books: The Depths: The Evolutionary Origins of the Depression Epidemic (Basic Books) and Depression: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford University Press).
