Research students
The following students are currently supervised by Peter Robinson in the Rainbow Group:
- Andra Adams - working on affective robotics for autism spectrum conditions
- Tadas Baltrušaitis - working on affect in remote communication
- Ntombi Banda - working on fusion techniques for affective inference
- Ian Davies - working on command and control environments
- Vaiva Imbrasaitė - working on emotions and music
- Marwa Mahmoud - working on multi-modal inference of occluded gestures
Research opportunities
If you are interested in the possibility of undertaking research, you should read the notes about research opportunities in the Rainbow Group, and the pages to which they refer for details about what we do and the procedure for applying here.
If you want to pursue the possibility, you should send a research proposal by e-mail and then arrange to visit or talk by 'phone. In the mean time, if you contact more than one person in the Laboratory, please make sure that all the people you contact are aware of all the others so that we do not duplicate effort.
