Paul Vickers holds a BSc degree in Computer studies from Liverpool Polytechnic and a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction from Loughborough University. He is currently Reader in Human-Computer Interaction in at Northumbria University where he has been since 2001. Between 1989 and 2001 Vickers taught at Liverpool John Moores University, and before that worked in a software development team at Digital Equipment Co. Ltd. Paul Vickers is a UK Chartered Engineer and a member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers and is also a registered practitioner in the UK's Higher Education Academy. His research is centred in the human-computer interaction (HCI) and auditory visualisation fields with a particular focus on the use of music as a medium for external representations. Vickers has presented at and been on the organising committees for a number of international conferences and has been interviewed by international media about his work on auditory representations of programs. A keen musician, Paul Vickers is very interested in bringing together the technologists, engineers, musicians, composers, sound artists, audio engineers, and programmers to build well-motivated and well-designed tools for exploring the use of sound as a communication medium.
