About me
I'm a third year PhD student in the Center of Vision, Speech and Signal Processing at the University of Surrey (UK) supervised by Prof. Adrian Hilton and Dr. Charles Malleson. I am currently focusing on the 3D reconstruction of animals from monocular views. My research interests include 3D reconstruction, computer vision, computer graphics, deep learning, visual effects, and real-time technology.

Teaching
-
AR, VR AND THE METAVERSE (EEEM067)
2 hours every other week I guide students do practical laboratory classes in developing mixed reality applications using the Meta Quest and Unity3D.
-
COMPUTER VISION & GRAPHICS (EEE2041)
2 hours per week I support students do practical laboratory classes in OpenGL graphics programming using shaders. I have been a demonstrator/teaching assistant for this class every year since 2021 until now.
