Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Copenhagen specializing in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and the use of music as feedback in common tasks. The research relates to fields such as Mobile Computing, Music Informatics, Perception and Pervasive Computing.



The following is a list of previous work and projects:
Interacting with recorded sound
Digital audio is becoming ubiquitous - Digital media players make large collections of audio available everywhere. I am exploring and testing prototypes that help to improve the feel, joy and efficiency of navigating large collections of audio, and exploring new ways to interact with recorded audio in everyday tasks.
Digital DJ'ing
DJ'ing often involves analog equipment such as turntables and mixers. In this study we seek to design and evaluate interaction techniques for digital DJ'ing. This study was approached by studying DJs current work practices, and though the open source development of the digital DJ system, Mixxx.
Publications and teaching
A list of publications can be found here. I have been teaching on the following courses at DIKU:
- Music Informatics
- Audio Signal Processing
- Sound Synthesis
Phase modelling of voiced sounds
Additive synthesis techniques are used by many researchers to build music applications, and to be able to analyze and understand timbre of acoustic and electronic instrument sounds. I have presented work on how phase can be modelled for musical sounds.
Synthesis example application
For the Sound Synthesis course taught at DIKU, I've made a cross platform synthesis example application. The example builds on QT and PortAudio, and is really simple. I plan to add MIDI control to it sometime.
JWacom
A free Java driver for the Wacom tablets. The driver currently works on Linux.
Other stuff
Machine Learning and Logic Programming. See eg. my lexical chaining system.
