Profile
Introduction
I am a Lecturer in Computer Science (Creative Computing) in the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Leicester. Previously, I was a Lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University and at Robert Gordon University.
My research interests lie in computer graphics, computer vision and digital fabrication. In particular, I work on video-based performance capture, mesh tracking, character rigging and skinning, motion capture, geometric modelling, mesh deformation, captured animation, reuse of non-rigid time-varying scenes, and non-photorealistic animation.
