Mohammad Obaid completed his Bachelors and Masters degree at the Computer Science and Software Engineering Department at the University of Canterbury, in which he gained First Class Honours for his Masters degree. His Masters' research project focused on the area of Non-Photorealistic Rendering, where he developed an algorithm for Automatic Painterly Rendering applications. Mohammad Obaid is currently pursuing his Ph.D. degree with a focus on the area of Facial Expression Representations using Generic Mathematical Models.

More recently, he published work on a novel idea in representing facial expressions using quadratic deformation models. The new way of representing expressions has proven to be useful in domain areas such as affective computing and electronic entertainment.

Mohammad computer interests include Non-Photorealistic Rendering, 3D Computer Graphics and Animation, Affective Computing, Image Processing and Computer Science for Kids.

Mohammad's personal interests include soccer, travelling, hiking, volunteer work, sketching/drawing, photography and socialising.
