I am a teacher and researcher at University of West of England and by night I make noise that I sometimes call music. My current research interests focus around Expressive Computer Interaction, with recent work looking at the design of new muscial instruments. I'm exploring these notions through a post-human lens, with a particular focus on Computing within Limits and the immediate climate emergency.

I received a PhD in Computer Science, where I looked at the theory of extensible datatypes in and around the programming language Haskell, in 1999 and BSc in Computer Science in 1996. I worked in Silicon Valley for many years, mostly at ATI/AMD, on GPU hardware and software. Whilst I loved working there I now question its social political and environmental impact and am now trying to develop an alternative, more sensitive, approach to tech.
