I have now moved to Swansea University my new (and very similar) homepage can be found at http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/~csbcd

Research Interests

I currently work in the Computer Vision Group, my research interests are estimating human pose from a sequence of images using sparse motion features.

About Me

After studying my 'A' Levels at North Devon College I went to Cardiff University where I graduated in 2005 with a BSc in Astrophysics. Following a brief period working as a software developer I went to work for the Astronomy Instrumentation Group at Cardiff University where I worked in far infrared spectroscopy. Following this I moved to Bristol where I am currently studying for my PhD. I am funded through an EPSRC grant entitled "Understanding Biological Motion using the Moving Light Display", which is a collaborative project between Computer Science and Experimental Psychology. I currently work under my supervisors Neill Campbell and David Gibson.

Interests

Although I seem to get the chance less and less my main interest is Surfing.

Teaching

I demonstrate on the following courses:

COMS12302 – Introduction to Scientific Computing – Open unit

COMS99998 – Introductory C Course – For MSc Students

COMSM1201– Programming in C – For MSc Students
