Biography:

Maxwell is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Music Technology at McGill University under the supervision of Marcelo Wanderley at IDMIL. His academic background includes a major in Computer Science and Physics and a minor in Music Science and Technology, all earned at McGill.

Specialized in Haptics, Gesture Analysis and classically trained on the Clarinet/Piano, he pulls from his scientific background and musical experience to bridge the gap between technology and artistry, creating innovative solutions at the intersection of force/tactile feedback enabled devices and musical expression. As a past time, he enjoys climbing and exploring the world of electronic music.
