Bio

I received a BA (subsequently MA) in Mathematics from Cambridge in 1995. I received an MSc in Signal Processing and Machine Intelligence from the University of Surrey in 1997. I subsequently spent two and a half years working as a software engineer in CAE Electronics and six and a half years as a software engineer in Thales Communications UK. I am now a research student in video coding, working under Dr. Andrea Cavallaro. My current research interests lie in the space-variant filtering and coding of images and video, but I have an interest in all areas of signal processing and a long-standing obsession with the computational side of mathematics.

Awards
