I am an Assistant Professor in music theory at the School of Music of the University of British Columbia, where I teach courses on compositional practice in the 18th- and 19th-century, techniques of graphic linear analysis, music psychology, Francophone music, and digital technology in music research and creation. My research has been presented at interdisciplinary conferences in North America, Europe, and the Middle East, and published in Music Perception, Empirical Musicology Review, Action, Perception & Cognition, and the Journal of New Music Research. My current projects focus on empirical aesthetics, specifically the experience of listening to rhythmic polyphony and the aesthetics of complexity, as well as the folk music of French-Canada, combining methods of close study, computer-aided musicology, and behavioural experimentation.
