I’m a researcher in metaheuristic optimisation, machine learning, and computational creativity. I also write music and I write programs that write music.

I’m a lecturer in Computer Science in the College of Engineering and Informatics, National University of Ireland, Galway. I teach on the MSc in Data Analytics and MSc in Artificial Intelligence.

I’m interested in supervising/mentoring researchers at undergrad, MSc, PhD, or post-doc level. Please see my research interests and contact me with a CV if interested.

I’ve previously worked and studied at:

• the National University of Ireland, Galway (BSc in computer science and mathematics);

• Hewlett-Packard, Galway, Ireland (automated install and system management for supercomputers, at the time the fastest in the world);

• University of Limerick (PhD in evolutionary control of sound synthesis);

• University College Dublin (post-doctoral research in evolutionary design);

• Massachusetts Institute of Technology (post-doctoral research in evolutionary design); and

• University College Dublin (Lecturer in Business Analytics and Programme Director of the MSc in Business Analytics, UCD College of Business).
