I
am a Senior Lecturer in Computer Games Technology at the Faculty of
Engineering
and Computing in Coventry University. I am also a founding
member of
the Interactive
Worlds Applied Research Group (iWARG) and a research fellow
at
the Serious Games Institute (SGI).
I received my Ph.D. degree in 2004, as a member of the Image Synthesis Group, from Trinity College Dublin. My thesis was entitled "Bottom-up visual attention for autonomous virtual human animation'' and was developed under the guidance of Prof. Carol O' Sulllivan. I have served as a post-doctoral researcher in LINC (Laboratoire d’Informatique, de genie iNdustriel et de Communication) at the University of Paris 8, France, and INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt working in collaboration with Prof. Catherine Pelachaud on the EU FP6 NOE HUMAINE and FP6 STREP CALLAS. I have also served as a post-doctoral research fellow in the Graphics, Vision and Visualisation Group in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, studying crowd modelling and perception, as part of the Science Foundation Ireland funded METROPOLIS project focusing on the creation of a populated virtual Dublin city. My research interests include the investigation of interrelationships between computational visual attention, affect, memory, theory of mind and gaze control models for real-time animation, perception of, and multimodal interaction with humanoid characters, groups and crowds.
I am the co-founder, with Ginevra Castellano, Kostas Karpouzis and Jean-Claude Martin, of the AFFINE (Affective Interaction in Natural Environments) events.
