Research Fellow in Facial Appearance Modelling

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in Colour Science and VR technology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities?

The successful applicant will join the Colour Technology Research Group, the School of Design, is a world leading research centre with a focus in creativity and developing innovative materials and manufacturing solutions with interdisciplinary researchers and industrial partners. You will join an experienced, innovative and diverse team and will be actively involved in research, producing high quality publications and contributing to the School’s Research Excellence Framework (REF). 

Working in collaboration with the academic team, you will design new image systems, conduct image capture and measurment of total appearance of human face and perform colour reproduce to VR headset. The research will involve the design of facial image system, conduct psychophyscial experiment for facial appearance modelling, develop 2D/3D sense in VR envirement, development of a colour characterisation algorithm for digital cameras, evalaute the accuracy of colour reproduction and develop a bespoke interface for image process for VR headset. The project is led by the Colour Technology Research Group in the School of Design and closely work with Meta R&D USA.
