I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the AIG, and joined the group as an MSc student in 1992. While studying part-time for my PhD, I was involved in designing and teaching undergraduate courses. After completing my doctoral research in 2000, I was appointed as a member of research staff. I am a founder member, and chairperson, of the ACM SIGGRAPH University of Manchester Professional Chapter. I also served as courses chair for the ACM SIGGRAPH 2009 conference.

My research interests include computational photography, 3D reconstruction/imaging, visual perception, real-time/massive-model rendering, collaborative virtual reality, haptic interaction, and physically based modelling. These are united by the desire to create compelling and effective virtual experiences. Please see my research page or the online version of my academic CV for further information.

I also have a keen interest in photography (see galleries below), my work lets me build upon this hobby.
