About

I am a Research Scientist working at Epic Games. Prior to this role, I worked as a Research Fellow in the School of Computing Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA), leading the Digital Humans Group in the Interactive Graphics and Audio Laboratory. My research interests concern analysis and synthesis of faces and bodies during speech. I have worked on projects relating to computer lip-reading, automatic redubbing of video and speech-driven face and body animation. My current research has a focus on facial representation learning, reconstruction and animation.
