Couple of facts

I've received B. Sc. in Applied Mathematics, System Analysis and Management from Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, and M.Sc. in Computational Engineering from University Erlangen Nuremberg, Germany The topic of master thesis was “Modeling of 3D Dynalic Mouth Appearance” at Fraunhofer Institute of Integrated Circuits in the group of Dr. Christian Küblbeck. Supervisor: Prof. Heinrich Niemann. Co-supervisor: Dr. Bernhard Fröba.
I'm currently a PhD Student at Centre of Vision, Signal and Speech Processing at University of Surrey in UK. The topic of my research is Modelling of natural dynamics of human faces in 3D. This PhD research is conducted under supervisor of Prof. Adrian Hilton. My co-supervisor is Dr. Philip Jackson.
