I am currently working as lecturer on the Music and Media Technology Course in Trinity College Dublin, and I have also worked as a post-doctorate researcher in Dublin City University.
My PhD thesis (awarded March 2010) examined the composition and performance of spatial music, particularly in terms of the less than ideal conditions encountered during a live performance (such as a distributed audience and reverberant acoustic environment). The full thesis and a more detailed summary are on this page.
