Ph.D. Projects

The following people are currently working towards their doctorates - have a look at their own pages for their own descriptions of what their work involves.

There are links for all the AIG research students on the AIG people pages.

Cityscapes
Nicolas Gaborit is investigating the generation and use of virtual cityscapes for distributed public consultation in urban design.
Behaviour in VEs.
Sylvain Daubrenet is looking at high-level ways for programming activity for virtual environments - bringing the world to life.
Network strategies for VEs.
Ashwin Beeharee is researching methods for making distributed shared worlds seem the same for everyone, even though network delays mean that is impossible.
Platform architectures.
James Marsh is working on an object architecture that allows the entities in an environment to decompose into component facets. The aim is to allow objects to migrate between environments that impose different behaviours on their contents. The approach provides a platform for rapid specification of object properties.
