Gaming the morning routine: Assessing the use of gamified digital technology (Jam Up!) for helping Autistic children with their morning routine. (in collaboration with Spectrum Tailored Technology Ltd (STT). (developer of Jam Up!))
Jam Up! is a digital toolbox implemented as a mobile app, designed to empower autistic children to gain autonomy with daily tasks, like getting dressed, using gamification. Read more
LITAC Scholarship - Inclusive Colour Design for Neurodivergence
LITAC (Leeds Institute of Textiles and Colour), which sits within the School of Design, is offering a highly competitive PhD scholarship consisting of the award of tuition fees and an annual maintenance stipend that matches UKRI rates (19,237 GBP in 2024/25). Read more
Virtual Engagement: The Impact of Avatars on Metaverse Retailing
Research Group:
School of Management
In 2020, the Metaverse was valued globally at US$487 billion, encompassing gaming, social media, live entertainment, and gaming/Virtual reality (VR)/Augmented reality (AR) (Bloomberg, 2021), with projections to exceed US$1 trillion by 2030 (Bloomberg, 2022; Precedence Research, 2022). Read more
A Unified Model for Incorporating Metaverse Technologies into Maintenance Management Processes
The advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has brought significant advancements in technology, including the rise of the metaverse a digital universe that integrates extended reality, blockchain and Web 3.0 to create immersive, interactive experiences. Read more
Neuromorphic sensing and computing
Neuromorphic vision sensors enable the acquisition of scenes with limited energy requirements and low data rate, only acquiring information on what changes in the scene, with a behaviour similar to the one of the human eye. Read more
Unpacking Casual Game Engagement Across Time Scales
What makes people stick to a mobile game for days, months, or years? This interdisciplinary, data-intensive PhD project unpacks casual game engagement across time scales. Read more

Harnessing the Power of Time Delays in Dynamical Systems
Time delays are often seen as a source of frustration — missed connections due to delayed flights, disrupted online gaming due to communication lags, or instability of dynamical systems due to tiny control loop delays. Read more
Staging Sonic Spaces: Researching Techniques and Technologies for Spatial and Immersive Music
This project draws on the research interest of the PIs (Bridges and Melvin) in exploring frameworks for the interaction of sound and space in music/audio composition and related practices. Read more
Advancing 3D Computer Graphics & Vision with Generative AI and Novel 3D Representation
This PhD project aims to advance 3D computer graphics and vision by combining state-of-the-art generative models, specifically diffusion and flow-based generative models, with cutting-edge 3D representations, such as. Read more
