Personal profile
Biography
My teaching and research are interoperable; I use game engine technologies to build virtual worlds. I specialise in the visualisation of historical environments and the development of interactive environments for conceptual, pedagogical and experimental projects. Most notably, I am the lead developer on the Virtual Angkor project and have been creating 3D visualisations of mediaeval Angkor since 2014.
I have also developed award winning units in the areas of game programming and virtual world building. I have a particular interest in lighting, visual effects, and cinematography in games and immersive media.
My PhD study in Historical Game Studies is due to conclude in 2027.
