PhD Candidate

Dalhousie Univeristy | 2021 - Present

I am currently a PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Joseph Malloch & Dr. Sageev Oore. I work in the Graphics and Experential Media (GEM) Lab within the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie Univeristy. My research currently involves exploring how continuous interactions for Generative Machine Learning models can better support creative practitioners and their individual workflows than current text-prompt or chat based interfaces. Furthermore, I actively develop software and hardware prototypes, including new Digital Musical Instruments, in order to evaluate the use of continuous interactions with GenAI in creative contexts from a human-centric perspective.

I have also contributed to other projects in the GEM Lab, including work on Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR), Space Syntax, Music Technology, and more.

See the Research page for more information about the work we've completed at the GEM Lab.
