Biography

Stuart graduated with a BSc (1998) and a PhD (2008) in Physics from the University of Kent. He was appointed to the position of Lecturer in the School of Physical Sciences, University of Kent in 2007. He is the co-inventor of the EFIT-V facial composite system which is currently used by 40% of UK police constabularies and is a Director of The University spin-out company VisionMetric Ltd.

Research Interests

The main theme of my research is forensic applications of digital image processing. Specific areas of expertise include; facial composites for use in criminal investigations, digital image forgery detection and evolutionary computation.
