Biography

Professor Michael Clarke is Director of the IRiMaS project (Interactive Research in Music as Sound - https://research.hud.ac.uk/institutes-centres/irimas/) funded by a €2.5m European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant (2017-22). Previously he was Dean of the School of Music, Humanities and Media at Huddersfield and before that Dean of the University’s Graduate School.
