I'm a professor of music and electroacoustics at Concordia University, a researcher and developer, and founder of the Concordia Laptop Orchestra (CLOrk). My work connects musical creation and collective improvisation with questions about how people listen and create together.

My current research program, The AI Mirror, uses building as a way of investigating human nature. I develop and test generative systems to examine what their behaviour reveals about human creativity and social life, including the assumptions we put into them. I also explore how people can retain agency over what algorithms show them.

One research instrument is The Village, a persistent virtual world whose characters accumulate memories, relationships and ongoing activities. Following their interactions lets me examine what we recognise as human, and question why something seems convincing.

I also publish independent AI benchmarks, comparing decision accuracy alongside response time and cost. These help developers judge which models fit a particular task and where their limitations matter.

• Text decision benchmark: Jev, Luna and budget LLMs evaluated on the same 1,136 questions.
• Image decision benchmark: 200 questions per model using photographs, diagrams and visual constraints.
• Academic profile and publications.
