Main research themes and interests

Most of my work falls in one of these overlapping categories:

  • Computational moving image studies
  • Computational creativity and creative computing
  • Interdisciplinary design
  • Synthetic media and generative approaches in computational humanities
  • Critical technical practice, systems literacy, and computing cultures

At King’s, I am affiliated to the following groups:

Recent projects and outputs

  • Intelligent Systems for Screen Archives (ISSA) — a BFI-funded project developing AI tools and skills for moving image archives, in partnership with five UK archives
  • DEERIN prototypes — four modular, open-source tools for data enrichment, exploration, retrieval, and interaction with screen heritage collections, developed through ISSA
  • FrameSense — an open-source tool for processing large moving image collections into machine-readable datasets, developed with King’s Digital Lab
  • MESH Hub — new Arts & Humanities infrastructure for computational media experimentation at King’s, funded through a Research Infrastructure Fund bid
  • ARCAM-net — a proposed European research network for computational audiovisual media, heading towards a 2027 COST Action resubmission led by Mila Oiva
  • My book Cinema and Machine Vision (Edinburgh University Press, 2024)
