Michael Anes joined the Wittenberg faculty in 2004, after teaching at Albion College and Boston University. His research interests lie broadly in visual cognition, and specifically in the processes by which humans recognize objects and faces.  Dr. Anes teaches several regular course offerings in the Psychology department such as the Learning Proseminar, Experimental Design, and Cognitive Laboratory. In 2008, Dr. Anes was awarded the Omicron Delta Kappa Award for Excellence in Teaching at Wittenberg. Dr. Anes was on sabbatical in Poland for the 2010-11 academic year and affiliated with the University of Finance and Management in Warsaw, conducting research in cognitive neuroscience as a Fulbright US Scholar.

Dr. Anes received his BA in Communications from DePaul University in 1991, MA in Psychology from Michigan State University in 1996, and Ph.D in Psychology from Boston University in 2000.
