I am a part-time Lecturer in Games Audio, currently leading delivery of CMP407: Audio Programming, and teaching the Term 3 iteration of DES508: Game Development, Promotion and Marketing with Dr. Jung In Jung.
My research interests are focused on the topic of Game Design as Play: creating games as a playful activity in itself, focusing not on some polished and fixed end result, but on the participants' interactions as they are simultaneously making and playing their game(s).
I completed my undergraduate degree in Electronics with Music at the University of Glasgow, followed by a Masters in Music Technology and a subsequent PhD in Music Technology, both also from the University of Glasgow.
Outside of my work at Abertay I am an artist and independent game developer, working as part of Biome Collective. A full list of my non-academic work can be found on my personal website.
