Scientific Consultation

---

I am a postgraduate researcher at Leeds University's School of Design, where my work focuses on computational color science, specifically in the area of dental colorimetry. Through my research over the years and collaboration with specialised institutes, I have developed an expertise in the spectroscopy of dental hard tissues and materials, gaining insights into how these interact with light. My technical tasks extend to writing dedicated code in MATLAB and Python, particularly for applications in computational color science.

My research interests include the application of color appearance models, ranging from basic models like CIELAB to advanced models such as CAM16-UCS, to enhance visual-instrumental agreement in dental colorimetry. My work in this area has been published in high-ranking Q1 journals as part of my PhD studies at Leeds University.

In imaging science, my interests extend to spectral data recovery from digital images and the use of AI and Neural Networks for image recognition purposes. This ties into my involvement with the eLAB system, where advanced imaging techniques play a crucial role. Additionally, I have a strong interest in psychophysics and visual scaling techniques, and I have applied the standardised residual sum of squares (STRESS) index to evaluate the performance of instrumental shade measurement in combination with various color difference equations. 

I'm familiar with the Kubelka-Munk Theory and the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE), which I leverage to assist dental companies in designing new products related to the color of dental materials. Furthermore, I have a deep interest in the technology of light and illumination, helping manufacturers design better workplace products. Good light quality is crucial in fields like dental technology, where it's necessary to observe fine details without straining the eyes and to accurately judge color.

I am uniquely positioned with access to an extensive amount of in-vivo tooth color data gathered through the eLAB system, as well as a considerable collection of human enamel and dentin samples, enabling direct comparison of optical properties for thorough evaluation.
