Mark is a Reader in Interdisciplinary Digital Visualisation at Liverpool School of Art and Design and a member of the award-winning Face Lab research group that explores faces and art-science applications. Mark trained as a medical artist, gaining his MSc in Medical Art from the University of Dundee, and specialises in visualising anatomy through 3D data acquisition, modelling and fabrication. His research focuses on the affordances that 3D digital technologies allow for both digital and haptic interaction with anatomy and cultural artefacts.

Mark is programme leader for the MA Art in Science programme at LJMU. Art and Science are often seen as two different entities with very separate ideas of what constitutes research. Co-developed by Mark Roughley and Professor Caroline Wilkinson, the MA Art in Science programme brings together artists and scientists to explore collaborative approaches in Art and Science research and practice. From anatomy to algorithms, pixels to performance, science to semiotics, the programme supports creative curiosity in partnership with experts across the University and beyond.

Mark is also the Art & Design Foundation Year (Level 3) coordinator at Liverpool School of Art and Design, and the Link Tutor for the International Foundation Year Certificate at London College for Design and Fashion (LCDF) in Hanoi.

He is also a host of the art-science Liverpool LASER Talks (Leonardo Art Science Evening Rendezvous), a member of the Advisory Committee at Eureka! Science + Discovery, a member of the University Research Ethics Committee, and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
