I am presently working towards my PhD in the Computer Vision Laboratory at The University of Nottingham, supervised by Dr. Georgios Tzimiropoulos. I spend most of my time listening to music, drinking too much tea and restoring old computers.

Research

Since starting my PhD, my research has primarily focused on deep learning applied to the human face. This includes 3D reconstruction, face alignment and semantic part segmentation.

Contact

I would prefer it if you send plain text email. Why? Please read this page, which gives a good overview of some of the problems with HTML email.

Please don't send the same email to multiple email accounts. I check all of them.

Personal Email: aaron@nospam-aaronsplace.co.uk GPG
Use this address to get in touch about anything which is not related to work. I'm not a huge fan of receiving work-related emails to my personal address.
Work Email: aaron.jackson@nospam-nottingham.ac.uk
Use this address to email me about things relating to my research or work.
Just for Fun Email: asj@nospam-catbert.rhwyd.co.uk
This email will go directly to my PDP‑11. Reliability is questionable and is listed here because it is fun. You can check if the PDP‑11 is up by pinging or fingering its hostname, or by going to this site.
Freenode IRC: asjackson
I'm usually online on freenode, you can get in touch with me on there if you like.

Verifying these pages

Since I linked to my GPG key above, for each HTML file, I automatically generate a signature which can be verified using GPG to ensure that I created the page. Below is a short example of importing my key (32716A1F) and verifying this page:

gpg --import <(curl http://aaronsplace.co.uk/gpg-personal.pub)
gpg --verify <(curl -s http://aaronsplace.co.uk/index.asc) \
             <(curl -s http://aaronsplace.co.uk/index.html)

You should see "Good signature from Aaron S. Jackson..."

Various Links

I also keep a local mirror of a few websites and free software projects. While my uplink is slow (10Mbps or so), it is publicly accessible and may be used if you really want to. It is at http://pub.aaronsplace.co.uk/mirror
