Overview
Background
Assoc. Prof. Glencross specialises in computer graphics, human-computer interaction, and their application to real-world industry challenges.
Currently serving as the EAIT Deputy Associate Dean Academic (Students), she also leads research in Graphics and Visualisation aimed at enhancing the understanding of complex information. At UQ, her research has been applied to innovative areas such as Renewable Energy, Health and Safety, and Resilience. Her ongoing funded projects focus on designing technology to support decision-making during natural disasters.
With a strong background in industry-oriented research, Assoc. Prof. Glencross's work in computer graphics has been backed by industry contracts and research council funding. Her contributions have had significant commercial impacts across sectors, including computer games, visual effects, displays, mobile phones, and image-based capture technologies.
Previously, she led the technical product management of a Graphics Processor Unit at ARM Ltd (UK), where her work contributed to intellectual property used in mobile handsets. Additionally, she co-founded two UK-based technology startups. As Research Director of Pismo Software, she spearheaded innovation in automated 3D content creation pipelines for Virtual Reality interior design for Yulio Inc. In her role as Director of Research at a smart heating company, she led the development of an advanced intelligent heating system.
An active contributor to the computer graphics community, Assoc. Prof. Glencross serves as the ACM SIGGRAPH Volunteer Development Chair. She is also a member of the steering committee for the ACM PACM journals and an Associate Editor for the Computers & Graphics journal. Her expertise is recognised through her status as a Senior Member of the ACM.

Research impacts
Dr. Glencross's commercial research contributions in 3D capture and 3D model reconstruction from images have been deployed across applications including interior design, games, movies, architectural planning, cultural heritage and automotive rendering. Her work to automate creation of 3D surface textures from images was used in computer games, to create 3D models of Chichen Itza for the Tales of the Maya Skies dome projected movie, for rapid creation and visualisation of 3D surrounding context models for architectural planning, and for recovering material appearance models for high quality rendering in interior design and automotive applications. Her work in smart heating systems has had social impact, helping to monitor elderly and vulnerable people's heating and reducing heating and repair costs and emissions.
