Biography

My training included undergraduate and masters degrees in Engineering from , and a PhD in Robot Vision undertaken between  and UK imaging industry. I also worked as a Assistant Professor (Research) at , USA, 2004-2008.

I am actively involved in applied robotics and imaging projects with industry. I currently have funded collaborations with nuclear industry, defence industry, industrial robotics industry, and manufacturing industry.

I am also particularly interested in education and public communication of science, and have spent many years working with young people, in both UK and USA, teaching science through engaging hands-on activities with robotics. I have been teaching robotics master-classes for young people at  over the past five years.
