I'm a Passionate Computer Scientist

I Am

Dr. Llogari Casas holds a Ph.D. in Augmented Reality by Edinburgh Napier University through an EU Horizon 2020 Marie-Curie Fellowship, previously worked in Disney Research Los Angeles, and recently got awarded a Young Computer Researcher award from the Spanish Scientific Society of Informatics.

He co-founded 3FINERY LTD, a spin-out of Edinburgh Napier University that offers a novel Augmented Reality solution by bringing real-world objects to life on mobile devices, and Flash Park SL, a start-up that provides a revolutionary solution to efficiently find parking spots in the streets of crowded cities using a network of renewable energy-powered parking sensors.

Research

Contribution to ground breaking computer vision, graphics and fabrication research works, including real-time integration of fabricated object registration, tracking, and actuation with video game simulation and gameplay components.
