My passion for interdisciplinarity and creativity has accompanied me throughout my life and I hold degrees in the sciences and arts (BSc Electrical Engineering, BA/MA Music with Computer Science as a minor). Back in Germany I completed a traineeship with a Recording Studio in Frankfurt and an Electrical Engineering traineeship with a Elima/Harman and Braun Ltd in Muenster.

I have a Prince 2 Project Management qualification (2006) and more recently, I have been awarded a Senior Fellowship by the Higher Education Academy.

• Music Technology and Music Technology Education - most of my PhD and MA students have undertaken projects in this area, and I spent the first 10 years of my academic career intensely within this research community, being involved in the development of music information systems, MPEG7, music data structures and metadata.
• Arts, Academia and Society – my most current publications and funded research projects are related to this area, specifically considering the arts-academia interconnectedness in relation to Helix Systems (Carayannis), Open Innovation 2.0 (Samelin) and Culture 3.0 (Sacco), but also how we facilitate the learning of multiprofessional working practices between arts and social work.
• Interdisciplinarity, Creativity and HE – in-between the above two topics, I have been involved in exploring methodological aspects of the science/arts divide and how we facilitate interdisciplinarity in Higher Education. I have also developed and written about how we can facilitate the experiential understanding of the rich diversity of human creativity; my 'Creating Creative Processes' workshop has been delivered more than 50 times at various levels, subject disciplines and at various institutions world-wide.
