I am an Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) in the Virtual Environments and Computer Graphics in the Department of Computer Science, University College London. My research area is realistic computer graphics, with particular interest in real-time rendering, illumination computation, realistic materials, and image- and video-based rendering.
I have four doctoral students Min H. Kim, Frederic Besse, Fabian Wanner (sponsored by Framestore), and James Tompkin (sponsored by the BBC) who are working on HDR imaging, realistic graphics, and video-based rendering. Further, I have two research assistants, Andrew Cox and Insu Yu, who are working on real-time global illumination.
