Responsibilities

I am a Professor in the Virtual Environments and Computer Graphics group in the Department of Computer Science, University College London. I am currently head of the group. My research area in real-time interactive virtual environments, with particular interest in mixed-reality systems, large-scale models and collaboration between immersive facilities. The group runs a CAVE-like facility. Details of my active projects can be found here.

I am first superviser for several doctoral students Vijay Pawar (writing up), Jeren Chen (writing up), Jason Drummond (writing up), Jozef Dobos, Pan Ye, Julian Hodgson and Sebastian Friston. My teaching responsibilities can be found here.

I am currently deputy head of department. I was director of the Engineering Doctorate Centre in Virtual Environment, Imaging and Visualisation from 2005- 2013. Previously I was responsible for external relations for the department and I remain active in a number of technology transfer iniatives. I also consult to a small number of companies in areas related to graphics or new media. I am the CTO and founder of Animal Systems (ASIO Ltd), creators of Chirp.

I have co-authored two books. Networked Graphics by myself and Manuel Oliveira was published in 2010. Mel Slater, Yiorgos Chrysanthou and I wrote a book on Computer Graphics and Virtual Environments: From Realism to Real-Time

In the academic year 2006-2007 I was on secondment to Electronic Arts in Guildford.
