I am a music historian (aka. musicologist) and medievalist at the University of New England, Australia, where I lecture and supervise research on topics in music history from c.800 to present day. My research looks at several topics relating to the music of the from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries. Music encoding, data longevity and digital humanities is also part of my research. My current research projects include compositional techniques in the music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, especially canonic techniques (this project is funded by the Australian Research Council, DP150102135); music and emotions in late medieval Padua (with support from the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions); several smaller projects on sources of medieval music theory from the 14th and 15th centuries; and the computational analysis of Medieval and Renaissance Music.
