We are developing a web‐based system for Python programming (called “Pytch”) that targets beginning programmers (see the screenshot below). Because the system is web based a lot of the work will involve JavaScript, TypeScript and React but it’s not necessary to have experience of these at the outset. We have a number of ideas for … Read more
Happy to discuss student generated ideas and proposals in the area of computers and sustainability and particularly education. Projects could include: Prior projects that have been supervised include: Interested in both Computational Sustainability and Green Computing
The sudden rise of adversarial examples (i.e., input points intentionally crafted so to trick a model into misprediction) has shown that even state-of-the-art deep learning models can be extremely vulnerable to intelligent attacks. Unfortunately, the fragility of such models makes their deployment in safety-critical real-world applications (e.g., self-driving cars or eHealth) difficult to justify, hence … Read more
In the world of big data and artificial intelligence, federated learning is a very attractive way of enabling data sharing in a privacy preserving manner. Clients in a federated learning network never access data from other clients directly and they model parameters they receive are formed from data aggregates. However, under certain conditions the models … Read more
[MSc] In this project, you will first generate a database of cloth simulation for a single character performing a large range of motions, from a mocap database. You will use a commercial cloth simulation software to create the deformations (e.g., Houdini, Maya, UE4 cloth etc.). Then, the idea is to create a neural network that … Read more

*Unfortunately I am at capacity for 25-26 and am unable to take on any more project supervision * Smartwatches are increasingly used to track a variety of health-related data, but the focus is mainly on automated tracking. This project will investigate different modalities for entering self-tracking information via smartwatch. The project will suit better students … Read more
The Zebra Puzzle is a well-known constraint satisfaction problem that ChatGPT knows about. But can ChatGPT solve the puzzle or problems like it step by step in accordance with the rules of logic? The aim of this project is to investigate how far ChatGPT is able to reason about such problems, and how ideas such … Read more
[FYP level] In this project, the student will run a number of experiments investigating perception of faces and facial expressions on realistically rendered and toon-rendered virtual faces. A large part of the work will be generating the stimuli, which will be done using a combination of Maya, Marmoset Toolbag, Mudbox, and Russian3DScanner. This project is … Read more
I am unavailable for supervision for the 2026/27 academic year as I am on research leave.
