About
I am a Lecturer at the Harvard University Department of Music, where I teach courses on a wide range of topics, including undergraduate theory, timbre, popular music, and sound studies. More broadly, my research aims to draw theories of music and media into a cross-disciplinary dialogue that examines technocultural mediation in contemporary sonic practices. Education
