Hi and welcome to my website 🙂 I’m the Coordinator of Immersive Media (AR/VR) at The University of Melbourne, assisting with the integration of immersive technology throughout teaching and research. I look after the Learning Environments Immersive Media Lab, helping to solve problems for staff and students, and providing assistance with digitally mediated technologies across audio, video, 3D, VR, AR, and virtual production. I am a PhD candidate at The University of Melbourne in the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music exploring immersive virtual reality music experiences. My masters thesis, completed in 2023, investigated the topic “Duo Singing in Virtual Reality and Video Conferencing”.
My current research work includes as an inter-disciplinary team member investigating the Ethics of Biometric Capture in Music Performance through the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Ethics (CAIDE), as well as music performance training in virtual reality. Other work I’ve been involved with has investigated the use of virtual reality in music therapy settings. Prior to this I worked in film and television post-production, audio engineering, as a musician and a music photographer.
