  • Director of Vision, Graphics and Visualisation Group
  • University Disciplinary Investigating Officer

My research is mostly in the area of Computer Vision, but also touches on other areas including Machine Learning, Computer Graphics, Augmented Reality,  Psychology, and Robotics.  Some recent projects have included automatic counting, measuring ans sexing crabs and lobsters for stock monitoring in Welsh fisheries, development of a vision / control system for a strawberry picking robot, developing a risk model for the out-of-distribution problem in medical image analysis, investigating efficient proxies for neural arichetecture search, and developing improved methods for the segmentation and measurement of 3D point clouds of plants.
