Biography:

I like to make improvised music with computers and electronics. I’m interested in how the tools we use shape our ideas and vice versa.

My thesis focuses on the T-Tree, an interactive music system (IMS), digital musical instrument (DMI), and hub embedding multiple T-Sticks.

Research Areas:

• Interface Design
• Mapping
• Software Development
