Welcome

I'm an academic based in the Centre for Vision Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) at the University of Surrey. I joined CVSSP in June 2009, as a lecturer in Computer Vision. I am a member of the British Computer Society, and a Chartered Engineer with the IEEE.

I research Computer Vision and Graphics technologies; and lead small a research team in this area. You can read more about our research projects and publications. Recently we have been looking at new ways to add value to large multimedia collections. These include sketch based search of photos and video, new ways to visualise and understand home media collections, and visually searching large archives of dance by example pose and choreography. We are also active in 3D graphics for production and 2D based Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) research.

I teach Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (EEE3032) to final year undergraduate (BEng and MEng) students, and supervise final year dissertations in areas aligned to my research interests.

I am programme coordinator for all Year 1 and 2 Electronic Engineering undergraduate degree pathways at Surrey.

Previously I was a lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Bath, within the Media Technology Research Centre (MTRC). I completed both my PhD in Computer Vision/Graphics (2004), and my BSc (1:hons) in Computer Science at Bath. I have worked for brief periods in commercial R&D with IBM Hursley Labs, Vodafone R&D Munich, and HP Labs Bristol.
