I'm John Charlton, a part time PhD student, part time Research Associate at the [University of Sheffield](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk), in the [Department of Computer Science](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/dcs), in the [Visual Computing Group](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/dcs/research/groups/visual-computing/home).
I'm John Charlton, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the [University of Sheffield](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk), in [Neopath](https://www.neopath.org.uk/), part of the [School of Clinical Dentitry](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/dentalschool)

My supervisors are [Paul Richmond](http://paulrichmond.shef.ac.uk/) and [Steve Maddock](http://staffwww.dcs.shef.ac.uk/people/S.Maddock/index.shtml), and I work closely with [David Fletcher](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/mecheng/people/academic/david-fletcher) in [Mechanical Engineering](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/mecheng)
My work is in the field of Computational Pathology, which seeks to utilise modern hardware advancements, developments in algorithms, and connect between different disciplines, to forward healthcare. I am specifically examining detections of head and neck cancers, with the aim of improving the detection and prognosis.

## PhD

I completed my PhD, as well as carried out 3 years of Research Associate work in the [Department of Computer Science](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/dcs), in the [Visual Computing Group](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/dcs/research/groups/visual-computing/home). Where my focus was of GPU computing, and simulating pedestrian crowds.

My PhD supervisors were [Paul Richmond](http://paulrichmond.shef.ac.uk/) and [Steve Maddock](http://staffwww.dcs.shef.ac.uk/people/S.Maddock/index.shtml), and I worked closely with [David Fletcher](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/mecheng/people/academic/david-fletcher) in [Mechanical Engineering](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/mecheng)

My focus is on fast and realistic simulations of dense pedestrian crowds. My research examines models and algorithms suitable for increasing accuracy and realism of crowds, while running in real-time. This is applied to practical areas such as train stations and platforms to help understand crowd dynamics and effects.

I have examined the use of the ORCA model on GPUs, originally created by [van den Berg et. al](http://gamma.cs.unc.edu/ORCA/). It allows for millions of people to be simulated and visualised in real-time. It is an exellent baseline steering model in which to build more complex designs.

My current work is examining ways to increase realism and accuracy of dense crowds. As well as working on my PhD thesis, I have been applying the models developed with the department of Mechanical Engineering to ask and answer questions around the platform-train interface, through RateSetter.
