A Bit About Me
I received my PhD from Colour and Imaging Institute, the University of Derby, working in Colour Appearance Modelling with Professor Ronnier Luo.
Between 2005-2008, I was a Senior Researcher in the Computing and Intelligence LAB, Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology in South Korea, to develop image immersive enhancement methods for UDTV. I am back in the UK in 2008 and worked for Tru-Colour Ltd., a spin-off company of the University of Liverpool, for visual display calibration to solve common colour mismatch problems for online shopping.
In 2010, I joined the School of Clinical Dentistry, the University of Sheffield, where I was first appointed as a Post -Doctoral Research Associate and later promoted as a University Research Fellow. I worked on a Wellcome Trust granted project that was concerned with the development of a fully automated way of manufacturing soft tissue prostheses using 3D colour printing with Professor Julian Yate and Professor Richard van Noort. The project was further developed and funded by EPSRC. I worked as a research co-investigator and research fellow in the Department of Psychological Science, the University of Liverpool between 2013 to 2016, with Professor Sophie Wuerger.
I joined the School of Design, the University of Leeds in 2016 first as a University Academic Fellow in Affective Design Technology and was promoted to be an Associate Professor in 2019.
