Biography

Vedad Hulusic is an Acting Deputy Head of Department in Creative Technology, Faculty of Science and Technology at Bournemouth University. In addition, Vedad is the Output Champion for UoA11 (Computer Science and Informatics) in the preparations for REF 2021. He worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Télécom ParisTech in Paris, France and as an Assistant Professor at the University Sarajevo School of Science and Technology, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He has a PhD in Engineering from the University of Warwick, UK and a first degree in Computer Science from the University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He has a long-standing interest in serious games, cultural heritage, VR/AR technologies, assistive technology, high dynamic range imaging, image and video quality assessment, visual perception and attention, computer graphics, and cross-modal interaction in which he has been a published author. He participated in two large-scale EU projects and a number of small- and medium-scale research projects and is a PI for a HEIF (Research England) funded project "Feeling the UNfelt (FUN): Assistive Technology accessible digital environments with a haptic interface"...

Research

I have a long-standing interest in serious games, cultural heritage, VR/AR technologies, assistive technology, high dynamic range imaging, image and video quality assessment, visual perception and attention, computer graphics, and cross-modal interaction in which I have been a published author.

I participated in two large-scale EU projects as a Management Committee member, General Assembly member and a researcher. I am currently leading a research project looking at Assistive Technology accessible digital environments with a haptic interface for children with physical disabilities.

In addition, I participated in a number of small- and medium scale projects and had successful collaborations with both industry and museums.
