Profile Summary

Professor of Computer Vision & Graphics.
FREng, FIAPR FIET, CEng, DPhil, BSc(Hons)

I have successfully commercialised technologies for 3D and 4D shape capture exploited in entertainment, manufacture & health, receiving two EU IST Innovation Prizes, a Manufacturing Industry Achievement Award, and a Royal Society RS Industry Fellowship with Framestore on Digital Doubles for Film (2008-11). I am a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award holder in 4D Vision (2013-18) and is currently PI on the S3A Programme Grant in Future Spatial Audio at Home combining audio and vision expertise and InnovateUK project ALIVE, led by The Foundry, developing tools for 360 video reconstruction and editing.

I lead the Visual Media Research (V-Lab) in CVSSP, which is conducting research in video analysis, computer vision and graphics for next generation communication and entertainment applications.
