Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
This project would focus on advanced physics simulation for real-time games. Building upon existing technology inside Electronic Arts, the doctorate would could focus on one of several topics of interest that range from simulation of destruction through to character animation. The student would expect to be involved with teams writing cutting edge game production tools, and a realistic target for the project is to have impact on an upcoming title.
Requirements and application
This studentship will be supervised by Prof Anthony Steed
http://www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/a.steed/
Applicants should possess a strong bachelor’s degree (1st Class or 2:1 minimum) in computer science or a related discipline. A master’s degree providing relevant research experience is highly desirable.
Candidates who do not hold a relevant masters qualification would normally be required to successfully undertake the MRes Virtual Environments, Imaging and Visualisation at UCL Computer Science prior to commencing the PhD and EngD. For suitable candidates funding may be available for the MRes, meaning that the candidate would get four years of funding.
The successful candidate would be expected to spend time working at Electronic Arts in Guildford, as well as UCL.
Informal enquiries on the project can be made to Prof Anthony Steed [Email Address Removed], or to Dr Jamie O'Brien, [Email Address Removed]
