Facial Modelling and Animation

My doctorate was concerned with facial modelling and animation. I also retain an interest in multimedia, human body modelling and animation, and most things related to computer graphics and animation.
Below is one of the animation sequences generated using the software that I developed as part of my doctorate.

If you don't have a java-capable browser, here is the above animation sequence as an MPEG:
