|Gary L. Wells is Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Iowa State University and Director of Social Science at the Institute of Forensic Science |
|and Public Policy in Greensboro, NC. He is an internationally recognized scholar in scientific psychology and his studies of eyewitness memory are |
|widely known and cited. He has authored over 170 articles and chapters and two books. His research, which is funded by the National Science |
|Foundation, focuses on the reliability of eyewitness identification and the validity of procedures used to make such identifications. Wells’ findings|
|have been incorporated into standard textbooks in psychology and law. His research-based proposals on lineup procedures, such as the use of |
|double-blind techniques, are being increasingly accepted in law enforcement practices across the U.S. His conclusions about eyewitness identification|
|have received national media attention in such places as Time magazine, the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Times. He has |
|made appearances on CBS’s 48 Hours, the NBC Nightly News, Court TV, and NBC’s Today Show, among others. He was a founding member of the U.S. |
|Department of Justice group that developed the first set of national guidelines for eyewitness evidence and co-chaired the panel that wrote the |
|Justice Department training manual for law enforcement on eyewitness identification evidence. Wells has worked with prosecutors and police across the |
|U.S. to reform eyewitness identification procedures. Wells is a past President of the American Psychology-Law Society and has received Distinguished |
|Contributions awards from the American Psychology-Law Society and the American Psychological Association. In 2008 Wells was awarded an honorary |
|doctorate from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. |
