WHERE
I taught modules in Music Informatics and Generative Creativity in the department of Informatics at the University of Sussex in the early 2000s. Since 2015 I have taught in the Music department, Liberal Arts degrees and Conservation Biology, with co-supervision in Informatics, Ecology and Evolution and Anthropology. 

Since 2020 I have co-facilitated a summer programme at CAMP in the french Pyrenees and online. I also contribute to European Doctoral and masters training including at Oulu University, Orpheus Institute and most recently on the pan-European Erasmus Masters ReSound. 

WHAT
I currently teaching topics broadly related to soundscape and listening across various degrees. This includes technical approaches in creative music technology. In the past I taught creative coding and evolutionary, adaptive and generative systems. 

PhD SUPERVISION  

I am happy to receive doctoral proposals to start in 2027 onwards and happy to support keen early career researchers in gaining funding. I am currently most interested in transdisciplinary soundscape research to address ecological and cultural issues or imagine better futures.

  
Current doctoral students are studying

• Soil acoustics with Chris Sandom (Life Sciences/ Ecology & Evolution)
• Self-supervised, interpretable AI for conservation acoustics with Ivor Simpson (Informatics)
• Co-creative acoustic methods as participatory action research with indigenous communities to counter ecocide with Evan Killick (Global/ Anthropology)
• Experimental systems luthiary with biologically-inspired, complex, adaptive or hacked systems, with Chris Kiefer, Evelyn Ficarra and Thor Magnusson (Music)
• Qualitative approaches to soundscape analysis to shift human-nature relations at University of Falmouth

Past doctoral students include:

• Fiona Miller (2025) Sensing sound: integrating psychophysiology and phenomenology to investigate the role of audible frequencies in self-regulation. (PhD in Music, co-supervised with Hugo Critchley (Neuroscience))
• Cliff Hammet (2022) Nightsniffing - Figuring bats as unruly stakeholders through ambulatory interfaces with urban planning data (PhD in Creative and Critical Practice)
• Richard Beason (2019) Assessing the effects of habitat management practices on vocalizing animals using passive acoustic monitoring (PhD in Biology. External supervisor. Main supervisor, Julia Koricheva, School of Biological Sciences,  Royal Holloway)
• Paola Moscoso (2018) The use of acoustic analyses to evaluate ecological and social impacts of habitat degradation in contemporary conservation biology (PhD in Biology, with Mika Peck)
