Biography
I am a Professor and an active scientist in computer animation with over 15 years’ research experience in a world leading centre, the NCCA, the UK No.1 educational and research base for computer animation. My research has focused on physics based modelling (deformation & fluid), motion synthesis, virtual reality (surgery simulation), and novel HCI (eye tracking, gesture control and haptic). I am keen to exploit the usage of novel computer animation techniques for cross-disciplinary research and applications, which has led to international research collaboration and joint funding bids. My research has been funded by various funding sources, including the Royal Society, EU FP7, InterReg VA France (Channel) England, and HEIF. I have taken project management and supervision roles in a number of prestigious EU funded research project, including FP7 MC-IIF project “AniM” – 623883 (PI) on smart data management for computer animation and FP7 MC-IRSES project “AniNex” – 612627 (chief scientist) on next generation animation technologies putting together efforts of 5 leading international research institutions... My research has contributed to another FP7 funded research cooperation, “Dr Inventor”, – 611383 (€2.65M), which develops data mining and artificial intelligence technologies to supplement human ingenuity. My Research has contributed to InterReg VA France (Channel) England’s recent investment of €5.3M which aims to enhance the visitor experience to heritage sites with novel augmented reality solution and innovation in business model. My research has also contributed to the innovative development of “virtual surgery theatre” jointly with NHS surgeons and has led to novel “virtual lifeboat launching” jointly with RNLI to improve safety on sea, both of which have potential to create regional influence and cross-sectoral impact.
