Visual Computing - Cardiff

On 10/12/2025, we hosted Dr Katarzyna Stawarz (the Deputy Lead of the Human-Centred Computing Group) for our vLunch Seminar. Her talk, “Co-designing Technology for Supporting Physical Activity and Sport,” offered excellent insights into user-centred design for health/wellbeing.

On 3 December 2025, our Visual Computing vLunch Seminar, hosted by the ReSIDA group, featured Dr Sara Sharifzadeh (Swansea) presenting “Tackling Predictive Modelling Challenges in Dynamic Conditions.” A great discussion on predictive modelling under real-world variability.

On 26 November 2025, our Visual Computing vLunch Seminar featured Mr Gerasimos Katsagannis from our Medical Imaging Group presenting “Detection, Distillation, and Diffusion.” A great session exploring cutting-edge imaging and AI techniques.

On 5 November 2025, our Visual Computing vLunch Seminar featured Mr Joseph Jayakody (PhD Candidate, Birmingham) presenting “Geometric Modelling and Shape Optimisation for 3D Printing.” A fascinating session on improving 3D printing through mathematical modelling.

On 19 November 2025, our Visual Computing vLunch Seminar featured visiting academic Dr Nesli Erdoğmuș (IZTECH, Türkiye) presenting “Fingerprints: What’s There to Talk About?” A fascinating session on advances in fingerprint analysis and biometric technologies.

On 15/10/2025, we were delighted to host Dr Guosheng Hu (University of Bristol) for our Visual Computing vLunch Seminar. His talk, “Reduce AI’s Carbon Footprint – Accelerating Deep Learning Models,” offered valuable insights into efficient and sustainable deep learning.

Her work spans deep learning, pattern recognition, and image analysis. We look forward to her seminars, collaborative research, and engagement with our students & faculty. #VisitingProfessor #Biometrics #ComputerVision #MachineLearning #ResearchCollaboration

Dr Erdoğmus leads the CSIGB Research Group, focusing on biometric systems, face & fingerprint recognition, anti‑spoofing, and multimodal signal processing csigb.iyte.edu.tr/research/

We are delighted to welcome Assist. Prof. Dr Nesli Erdoğmus from İzmir Institute of Technology (@iyteedutr) to our section for one year.

Stay tuned for his guest lectures, workshops, and roundtables. #VisitingProfessor #SpatialScience #DataScience #RemoteSensing #Geoinformatics

During his visit, he'll collaborate with our team, share insights, and engage with students & researchers on topics like spatio-temporal modelling, remote sensing, and data-driven environmental science.

Exciting news: We are honoured to host Prof. Peter M. Atkinson (@ProfAtkinson - @LancasterUni ) as a Visiting Professor in our Visual Computing / ReSIDA group! Prof. Atkinson is a global leader in spatial data science, earth observation, geostatistics, and AI for the environment

Our 4th and last speaker today is Prof Touradj Ebrahimi of EPFL for an exciting talk on new generation of standards for AI-Powered Imaging.

Our third speaker again a known from the past Prof Darren Cosker of Microsoft. Topic on Multimodal AI, immersive technologies.
