I used about 30 minutes of lecture time going through some state-of-the-art research outcomes presented at ACM Multimedia 2016 conference. Students seemed to enjoy it and some even tried to download the paper for more details of the research. A keyword of this year’s ACM MM is deep learning and t...

LinkedIn kindly found an article on New Scientist that quotes my comments on near-ultrasound communication (and subsequently spammed all my contacts). It’s a cool piece of technology and I am glad to praise for its great potential. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23230952-900-tv-shows-coul...

Well, it turned out that we were not just invited to present our work at the Bitmovin Grand Challenge at IEEE ICME conference, we actually won it! http://www.icme2016.org/ https://bitmovin.com/icme2016grandchallenge/

Two of my proposals entitled: Software defined wireless networking and Multimedia alternate realities have won the Santander Staff Research Award at the University of Northampton.
