Professor Earnshaw was Dean of the School of Informatics for 8 years. He was Pro Vice-Chancellor for 5 years. In the former role he was responsible for the management and development of the academic business of the School in the areas of teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and widening access. The School is interdisciplinary and brings together a number of areas including computing, IT, web, imaging, video, graphics, digital media, broadcasting, network-based media, computer animation, virtual reality, art, and design. He increased the number of students (undergraduate and post-graduate), the academic and support staffing levels of the School, the number of courses, the number of research grants, the knowledge transfer activities (the latter via an Informatics Innovation Unit http://www.inf.brad.ac.uk/kt/ ), and the number of internal and external collaborations.
In his role as Pro Vice-Chancellor, he championed a broad range of linked projects which, in the first instance, will further develop the University’s electronic information and communications capability. Success in this field is critical to delivery of the aims of the university’s Corporate Strategic Plan, and ensure an enhanced student experience through the introduction of more flexible learning opportunities, better communications and more electronic service delivery, particularly for students and staff. There are three principal components to the University’s E-strategy –
A wireless and web-enabled campus
Smart administration for flexible learners
Infrastructure to develop key skills and communication in the information age

Professor Earnshaw has a background in computer science, computer graphics, visualization, multimedia, and digital media. He obtained his PhD at the University of Leeds in 1975 in computer graphics - the first thesis in this area in the University! At the University of Leeds he set up the Visualization Group in 1990, an inter-disciplinary activity involving about 100 faculty members and researchers. The objective was to develop state of the art visualization facilities for teaching and research based upon high powered workstations and supercomputers.
From 1992 he was a founder member of the Multimedia Group at the University of Leeds that reported directly to the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and which was responsible for University-wide developments and initiatives in the area of multimedia. A grant of £456K was obtained in 1992 for a 3-year development programme to support teaching and learning through technology.
He was involved with a number of major European Commission projects including VISINET ($2 Million funding) which investigated the use of 3D visualization across European ATM networks. This enabled groups of designers in different European countries to interact and share the same design data. This enabled collaborative work to take place over the network and avoids the need to travel - a time consuming and expensive process, particularly at European airline tariffs! A further project, MAID ($4.8 million), investigated the use of multimedia information to support the design process over the network. VISTA - Virtual Interactive Studio Television Applications using Networked Graphical Supercomputers ($3.6 million) - produced a generic and extensible telematics platform that supported the execution of scenarios in the domain of real-time interactive television, which can be regarded as the realisation of a Virtual Interactive Studio (VIS). A VIS offers the capabilities of mixing real and synthetic objects and characters in any combination - depending on the circumstances - controlled remotely by TV viewers. VPARK ($1 million) created a Virtual Amusement Park as an integration of several applications based on Distributed Virtual Environments.
Advertisement for Full Professor in Electronic Imaging, University of Bradford, UK - 1995
•Established chair in electronic imaging
•Objective is multidisciplinary education in electronic imaging technology and its creative uses, and provide a focus for research in these areas. The prime objective of the chairholder is to develop research and other postgraduate activities of the Dept and to take overall responsibility for the Dept and the undergraduate programmes
•The candidate will be expected to have expertise in electronic imaging and telecommunications and an interest in media production, particularly video, animation and multimedia. In addition, a candidates must have qualifications and experience in electrical engineering, computer science, or other relevant discipline, and proven managerial and personal qualities required to lead and develop a multi-disciplinary research and teaching unit. A successful record of obtaining research funding and in publication would be strong supportive evidence of these skills. International standing in electronic media technology would also be an additional recommendation.
