Virtual Environments and Graphics Group
| In February
2006 I moved to the Technical University of Catalunia (UPC) in Barcelona
to work on realistic
virtual characters in real time
immersive virtual environments for research in Presence.
In August 2005 I completed the EngD VEIV (Engineering
Doctorate in Virtual Environments, Imaging and Vision)
programme at UCL. I was supervised by Prof. Bernard F.
Buxton and Dr. Celine Loscos. My
industrial supervisor was Jonathan Walters from Bodymetrics Ltd., my
sponsoring company. The title of
my thesis is Garment Modelling and Visualisation.
Owing to commercially critical information in my thesis
public access was restricted for two years. Please
contact me if you are interested in a copy of my thesis.
In autumn 2004 I was awarded a scholarship from the
Centre for Scientific Enterprises Limited (CSEL) at London
Business School (LBS) in order to
evaluate the commercial potential of my research. Before my EngD I worked as a research assistant at UCL on the following projects: In
collaboration with Prof. Tzvetomir
Vassilev and Dr. Yiorgos
Chrysanthou In
collaboration with Dr. David Mizell from Boeing and Prof.
Mel Slater In collaboration with Prof. Mel Slater and Dr. Anthony Steed on the COVEN project Virtual Crowds Simulation in DIVE 1998. In January 2001 I received a Diplom Ingenieur (equivalent to MSc) degree in Computer Science from the Institute of Graphics and Parallel Processing at Johannes Kepler University Linz , Austria. My diploma thesis was on the effective transmission of motion data in networked virtual environments. I was supervised by Prof. Jens Volkert and Dr. Gernot Schaufler. |
