Biography
I am a Lecturer in Multimedia systems and HCI at the I-Lab, a part of the Centre for Communication Systems Research, Department of Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at University of Surrey.
Previously, I was with the Department of Computer Science at University of Bristol from 2003-2007. I was awarded my PhD at Multimedia & Vision Research Group, Queen Mary, University of London in 2004.
Research Interests
My main research interest is to find new ways of interacting with visual multimedia. The background for this stems from my PhD in content based video retrieval, at Queen Mary, University of London. At present I am mainly focusing on video processing for HCI and novel metaphors for visual interaction with digital media.
Further details can be found on my personal web page.
