Audio and Sound Engineering tutor for the UCC Computer Science Department's MSc in Interactive Media. Specifically helping students develop an understanding of the techniques and industry-standard tools used in digital audio capture and processing.

PhD graduate at University College Cork, Ireland. Undertaking interdisciplinary research in the field of haptic feedback for Digital Musical Interfaces in the departments of Music and Computer Science. The primary contributions of this work to the field of Computer Music research are achieved via the psychophysiological analyses of combined audio and vibrotactile feedback and its role in dynamic, pitch, and timbre detection, the development of intuitive evaluation techniques and experiments… Show more PhD graduate at University College Cork, Ireland. Undertaking interdisciplinary research in the field of haptic feedback for Digital Musical Interfaces in the departments of Music and Computer Science. The primary contributions of this work to the field of Computer Music research are achieved via the psychophysiological analyses of combined audio and vibrotactile feedback and its role in dynamic, pitch, and timbre detection, the development of intuitive evaluation techniques and experiments that can be applied to measure and quantify the performance of a DMI, and the design and construction of prototype devices that are capable of addressing the communicative haptic divide that exists between musicians and digital interfaces. Prototype new interfaces for musical expression were analysed by applying a newly formulated framework of analysis, specifically highlighting and comparing the role therein of haptics in a musical device’s functionality, usability, and the user’s experience.

Working on a number of collaborative research projects with the department of Computer Science at UCC. Main duties included building prototype game controllers and designing experiments for the measurement of device functionality, usability, and user experience. This was achieved by augmenting existing HCI evaluation techniques for the appraisal of non-keyboard input devices. Specifically, a direct comparison was made between gaming controller functionality testing and in-game performance evaluation measures, highlighting the necessity for contextual testing of videogame controllers. This work will be published in “Usability Testing of Video Game Controllers: A Case Study” in 2016. Show less
