Guest lecturer

My academic employment has been primarily as a researcher, but I have also contributed to university teaching by giving seminars, and by teaching in traditional learning settings as both a graduate teaching assistant and guest lecturer. I have been invited to visit several research groups whose work is also concerned somehow with sound and/or listening in artistic and scientific realms.
