Gareth Griffith
Feature film and major sports software specialist and Media Arts alumnus

Gareth’s specialist software products have been used in over 500 feature films including consecutive visual effects Oscar winners for over a decade from Jurassic Park to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. His products continue to be seen daily producing the maps used on most news broadcasts around the world. They have also won two Queen’s Awards for Export Achievement and Innovation.

Since 2008, Gareth has run SBG Sports Software, developing software for data visualisation and analysis in several elite sports – most notably in Formula One where the company develops the race strategy software for the current World Championship winning team, and the incident analysis and race management software for Formula One race control. His talk will cover the various fields he has worked in and will then concentrate on a discussion of some of the mathematical techniques behind race strategy in Formula 1.

Car parking
When you arrive for a College event at our Egham campus, please park in car parks 1E, 1W, 12 or 4. Car park 12 can be accessed by turning right as you enter the main College gates; it is next to the tennis courts. Car park 1E and 1W are the car parks situated around Founder’s Building; you drive straight ahead to reach these as you come through the main College gates. If either of these car parks is full, please drive further onto our campus to car park 4, which is behind the Students’ Union. Blue Badge holders can find designated parking spaces in Car Parks 1E and 1W, as well as between Garden Lodge and the Williams Annexe. If you require any assistance on arrival, please contact our Premises team in advance of your visit by emailing:premisesadmin@royalholloway.ac.uk and they will be happy to help. Please note that we do operate an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system on certain parts of our campus. However, if you are here for an organised event at any time of the day and park in car parks 1E, 1W, 12 or 4, you do not need to worry about registering for a permit. We want to welcome you to our campus to enjoy as many events as possible, so you can park in car parks 1E, 1W, 12 or 4 during all College events without the worry of being captured by the cameras.

If you have any questions about parking, please email: premisesadmin@royalholloway.ac.uk
