I am a lecturer in Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London.

My main research interests are on animated virtual characters and particularly expressive body language. This broad area covers many aspects, including animation, AI and the simulation of behaviour, motion capture and the analysis of body movement. My most recent work has centred on Data Driven Methods for creating responsive virtual characters. See my research page for more details of my work.

I teach on two main courses, Bsc in Creative Computing and Msc in Computer Games and Entertainment. I am also undergraduate project coordinator. See my teaching page for more details.
