Research

Dodgson worked for many years on stereoscopic 3D displays, conducting research principally into autostereoscopic methods. He has contributed to several surveys of the field^[6][7][8] and has been on the committee of the annual Stereoscopic Displays and Applications conference since 2000, co-chairing the conference four times.^[9]

With Malcolm Sabin, Dodgson has worked on subdivision surfaces since 2000. Dodgson's team produced the NURBS-compatible subdivision method in 2009.^[10]

Dodgson has supervised almost twenty research students for PhDs.^[11]
