Dr Darren Cosker
Profile
Research Interests
Research interests are in the convergence of Computer Graphics, Animation, Computer Vision and Psychology. I am particularly interested in applying these fields to the development of virtual humans, human realistic facial animation, motion planning and behavioural modelling.
