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

Smartwatches are increasingly used to track a variety of health-related data, but the focus is mainly on automated tracking. Recent years have seen an expansion in the interaction capabilities of smartwatches (e.g. using voice or gesture). This project will investigate different modalities for entering and annotating self-tracking information via smartwatch. The project will suit better … 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.
I am happy to supervise projects in the general area of technology and learning. My particular focus includes: Outside of these areas I’m happy to discuss any ideas in the general area of technology and education.
