About
Hello! My name is Tomasz (Eng. Thomas).
I am a designer | developer | gamer | researcher |
I specialize in:
3D graphics | interaction | UI | UX | animation | XR | VR | MR | AR | Android
Currently, I am an online Professor at OPIT - Open Institute of Technology, MALTA (2023–currently). I teach the following courses:
COMP-5013.......Game Development
COMP-5018.......Digital Application for Digital Environments
COMP-5020......Sensors and Devices for Augmented, and eXtended Reality
I was a Scholar in Residence (Fulbright Award) at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, U.S. (2024 - 2025), an Assistant Professor in the Game Development department at American University in Malta, MALTA (2023 – 2024), and an Assistant Professor in the Digital Game Design Department at ARUCAD - Arkin University of Creative Arts and Design, CYPRUS (2020 - 2023). I was also a Visiting Scholar in VR in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, HONG KONG (2021), and a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher in the National Centre for Geocomputation (NCG) at Maynooth University in IRELAND (2017 - 2020). I worked on VFX, animation, and VR projects for the startup company EvoVRLab in THE NETHERLANDS (2016). I taught 3D design and computer graphics courses in the Faculty of Architecture, Design, and Fine Arts at Girne American University in CYPRUS (2014-2016). I defended my Ph.D. thesis at the University of Zielona Gora in POLAND (2014). I was a Visiting Scholar at the Florida University of Technology in THE US (2013). I attended e.media summer 3D graphics school (rendering) at the University of Applied Sciences in GERMANY (2012) and Drimagine - 3D, animation, and VFX academy funded by the European Union in POLAND (2010 - 2011). I worked on freelance projects, especially 3D visualizations and promotional movies, in POLAND (2008 - 2011).
