Research Abstract. My research focuses on computational interaction with information-rich human data such as
music, speech, vision and movement. This research incorporates signal processing, pattern classification, information retrieval
and artificial intelligence techniques with multimedia, speech recognition, computer music and human-computer interaction. I
am interested in areas of research which blur traditional discipline boundaries. My varied background in Engineering,
Computer Technology, Mathematics, Communication, Music, Linguistics and Philosophy provides me with a broad
perspective on issues of science and technology, while maintaining a deep knowledge of my chosen research
field.
Teaching Abstract. My teaching style is interactive, dynamic and learner-directed. Very positive
student reviews indicate that my classes have been both effective and enjoyable. In preparing and delivering
lectures, I keep in mind that students learn in many different ways, and that the goal of any learning activity is
twofold: understanding of the material and development of learning skills and style. I enjoy challenging myself
and students with new techniques and technologies, and I believe that the result is an improved learning
environment._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
