About

Hi, my name is Luke. I’m a musician, sound designer, computer scientist and educator. Based at the University of Huddersfield since July 2025, I am conducting PhD research as part of the Leverhulme Amplification Project. My research examines effects pedals as collaborative agents within writing, performance and production.

Prior to being awarded a Leverhulme scholarship, I studied BSc Sound Design at London South Bank University (LSBU) where I focused on the development of expressive sensor-based musical instruments. Following this I gained an MSc in Creative Technology at the University of the West of England (UWE). Here my work examined interactive art, multi-sensory design, and further developing both tangible and digital instruments and interfaces for musical performance. I was then awarded an MSc in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) from the University of Bath. Most recently I completed a PGCE (QTS) in Computer Science at Bath Spa University.

In addition to my research background, I can be found in the studio working on experimental soundscapes, running drum machines through guitar amplifiers and repurposing obsolete technologies.

When I am not in the the studio, I like watching Alien on repeat, getting out on my bike and buying books I probably wont get around to reading.

I am always interested in innovative and exciting collaborations so please do send me a message.
