Unlocking the complexity of organismal colour patterns using artificial intelligence

Partners: Cooney (PI, Biosciences), Thomas (Biosciences), Maddock (Computer Science), Han (Computer Science). This project is funded through the 23IPAP BBSRC 2023 International Partnering Awards Plus on AI for Bioscience. The aim is to develop a powerful and generalisable toolkit for extracting and analysing colour pattern information from biological images and thus transform the ability of researchers to rapidly characterise colour pattern phenotypes from image datasets. Research Assistants: Yichen He and Eleftherios Ioannou.

Upper Limb Neurorehabilitation VR system for paediatric patients

Partners: Ivan Phelan (PI, Sheffield Hallam University), Steve Maddock (Computer Science), Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust, Great Ormond Street Hospital. Funding: NIHR GOSH BRC. More information: Hallam press release.

Wet cloth

There are multiple simulation approaches for both liquids and cloth. Combinations are less common. This work is considering multiphase combinations. More information: https://robden820.github.io/.

Text-guided 3D object production

There has been a lot of recent attention on using text input to produce images. This project is investigating how to use text and image input to produce 3D objects. More information: https://hm1st.github.io/.
