I am presently a doctoral student at the Department of Culture, Aesthetics and Media at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. After receiving a B.A. in Biology from Swarthmore College in 1997, I worked as a pipemaker and clavichord builder at the Research Workshop of the Göteborg Organ Art Center (GOArt) before taking up doctoral studies in 2005.
My research interests include the history of music and musical technologies, in particular the design and production of keyboard instruments in the early modern period. My dissertation about the 1781 claviorganum by the Augsburg instrument maker Johann Andreas Stein will be submitted at the end of 2008.
