Dr. Turner's work in different groups has covered a range of topics, where fractals, noise analysis, and image synthesis have been a recurring expertise since joining the Imaging Research Centre incorporating the Alias Centre of Excellence in 1994 at De Montfort University to running the Manchester Visualization Centre to the present day. Over many years of research and teaching, this has resulted in numerous research papers, a graduate research text published by Academic Press, invited presentations, and hosting a conference and one-day short course on the mathematics of Fractal Geometry for the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) published 2002. The underlying mathematics has been used over the last seven years within a master course (MSc in Digital Signal and Image Processing - 2004) and in PhD topics, as well as in specialist training courses (Modified short course in Theory and Practice of Computer Graphics TP.CG Conference 2005). Topics that are strongly related have ranged from scientific visualization analysis to haptic development, designer image creation to infinite compression texture maps, and from mathematician nose filtering to image recognition.
