Congratulations
This week we have congratulations for Steve Willey who successfully defended his thesis ‘Improving the Pipeline for Stereo Post-Production’. You can read more about his CDE experience here.
We also have congratulations for Daniela De Angeli, although she has been extremely busy with the organisation of the CDE conference, she still managed to find herself nominated for the first-ever Faculty of Science Teaching Awards at the University of Bath. Daniela was one of the lucky winners and is pictured above with The Dean who presented her award.
Daniela De Angeli has also recently won the Vice-Chancellor’s Postgraduate Prize for Public Engagement with Research for her research that explores how games can be used to create museum experiences that are both entertaining and meaningful. Daniela is drawing on her computer science background to show how interactive games can be designed to bring museums to life through interactive exhibits.
