I am Professor of Visual Computation at Queen Mary, University of London. I established the Queen Mary Vision Laboratory in 1993 and have enjoyed immensely working with research students and postdoctoral researchers. I am interested in Human Identity and Behaviour Recognition, Visually Mediated Interaction, Communication and Surveillance. Brief bio and publications.
