A collection of my research projects

Here you can review some of my publicly available research. Areas of primary interest include new technology applications for audio, technology acceptance, and music technology pedagogy. I am also interested in information architecture, usability, and human-computer interaction.

A problem thoroughly understood is always fairly simple.
