2005–Present King’s Visualisation Lab, The King’s College London
Senior research fellow
- Boscoreale Project, funded by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Creation of 3D model based on interpretation of data available from excavation report and remaining artefacts to unify disparate fresco fragments from international collections into a single virtual model. - THEATRON 3, funded by EduServe.
Consultant and quality assurance for the realisation of THEATRON (see below) on the Second Life platform. Development of tools, working practice and components for creating the collaborative learning spaces. - Emergent Media Art Collaboration.
Working closely with the internationally recognised new media artist M. Takeo Magruder collaborated on a number of art installations. - Making Space, funded by the AHRC ITC Methods Network.
Lead researcher into methods and best practice for tracking and documenting the cognitive process in 3d visualisation based research. Organisation and presentation at major international symposium and expert seminar at the British Academy 2006. Leading to ‘The London Charter’. - The Body and Mask in Ancient Theatre Space, funded by the AHRC
Investigation and development of 3D technologies to capture visualise and digitally recreate aspects of the practice of ancient mask theatre, most notably modelling of 3d environments, character animation and clothing of digitally reconstructed theatrical performances. - How Kew Grew, funded by The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew
Visualisations of the Kew estate topology and vegetation as part of a major public exhibition exploring the historic and mostly lost relationship between the environment of the gardens and its buildings. Deliverables for the project are now included in a commercial DVD.
2002–2005 3D Visualisation Centre, The University of Warwick
Senior research fellow
- The Unnamed Theatre by Inigo Jones, funded by Bristol University.
Digitally created the so called “Unnamed Theatre” by Inigo Jones based on the extant drawings. Part of a project hosted at Bristol University exploring the renaissance stage, stage craft. - Odeon Cinema Project, funded by The University of Warwick RDF
Collaborated with the School of Film and Television to research and reconstruct using 3D technologies the Kingstanding Odeon (whose 1935 opening represents a key moment in the evolution of purpose-built cinemas). - Pompeian Scenography Project, funded by the Leverhulme Trust
Constructed 3D models of the House of Marcus Lucrecious Fronto, which contains many “stage” frescos in order to test morphic mapping theory and scholarly interrogation. Reconstructed the Grand Theatre at Pompeii and the stage depicted at the Therme Sarno (House of the Small Palaestra VIII.2.22-23) to compare and contrast the two hypothetical structures. Documented analysis of wall paintings, the modeling process and discoveries. - Appia Project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board
Developed virtual reconstructions based on Adolphe Appia’s modular stages for exploration, interrogation and lighting experimentation. - RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) Stratford-upon-Avon Redevelopment Project
Created architectural visualisations for the RSC’s development and planning department. The work has been used to help promote major redevelopments and construction work at the RSC.
2001-2002 Dept. of Theatre Studies, The University of Warwick
Research fellow (Arts and Humanities Research Board funded ‘Pompey Project’)
- Research
Information gathering, collation and processing of data from a variety of sources and media types. - 3D Modelling
Constructed low polygonal models of the ancient Theatre of Pompey for scholarly research and interrogation using real time virtual reality.
1998-2001 Theatron Limited, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire
Senior Multimedia Developer (European Commission funded ‘THEATRON Project’)
- 3D Modeling and Research
Created interactive real-time virtual reality models using architectural plans and textual sources of 16 European Theatres for award wining online teaching tool. - The THEATRON Project Technical Management
Project Technical Manager for the Consortium and European Commission between 8 pan European partners.
2009
- Comparitve research at the theatre at Herculanium to the Large theatre at Pompeii

- Investigation into the immediate areas surrounding the Large Theatre
- Continuation of colaborative work with Prof Fank Seer at the Large Theatre
- Colaboration with Prof John Clark, University of Texas at the Villa Oplontis as aprt of an ongoing investigation into creating a 3D model of the villa's current and restored states.
- Survey of a number of houses for Prof Richard Beacham, King's College London.
- Colaboration on surveying the Large Theatre with a team from Melbourne University, Australia under Prof Frank Seer
