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 is 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 and several other high-end virtual reality systems. Details of my active projects can be found here.
I am first supervisor for several doctoral students Julian Hodgson, Sebastian Friston, Andrew MacQuarrie, David Walton, Maria Murcia Lopez, Cristina Amati, Ben Congdon and Daniele Giunchi. I have two post-doctoral fellows, Ye Pan and Jason Drummond. My teaching responsibilities can be found here.
I am currently deputy head of department. I have been director of the Engineering Doctorate Centre in Virtual Environment, Imaging and Visualisation from 2005- 2013 and since 2014. Previously I was responsible for external relations for the department and I remain active in a number of technology transfer initiatives. I also consult to a small number of companies in areas related to graphics or new media. I was a founder and board member of ASIO Ltd, creators of Chirp. See personal pages about me.
