My careers advisor suggested a rethink! My dad was a location sound recordist, one night he took me to an outside broadcast. Being behind the scenes, seeing the technology in action, sparked a new passion.

“I came here in 2002 to study Music Technology and Audio Systems, a course I now teach on! I was interested in science and technology, but loved music too. I entered these words on UCAS’ website and Huddersfield came up.

I love inspiring students to consider new things.

“I worked at the BBC as a software developer, but returned to the University in 2013. I love inspiring students to consider new things like how we can localise sound, or the programing code that powers digital mixing desks and plugins. I like to demonstrate not only using particular microphones, but to think about why, and encourage listening with a critical ear.

“I love the atmosphere here, there’s often gigs or social events. As a student I helped to start our course Christmas parties, even persuading some “I wanted to be a music of the tutors to perform – producer, but soon found although I’m starting to regret myself fascinated by what was that now!” going on inside the equipment, and by subjects like acoustics, live sound and programming.
