Brief Biography
I began my academic career as a physicist. I was a member of the British Physics Olympiad team in 1988 and was awarded a 1st class Honours degree in Physics from St. John's College, Oxford in 1991. Following that, I moved to York to begin a PhD in computer vision with Edwin Hancock. I was awarded the PhD and the K. M. Stott prize for best thesis in 1996. After a brief period as a research associate, I became an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow between 1998 and 2003, and joined the academic faculty and the end of the fellowship. I became a Reader in 2004 and a full Professor in 2010. I am a Fellow of the IAPR and have led the Department's research on computer vision and on analytics. Currently, I am head of the Artificial Intelligence Group at York.
