In March 2013, Jordan received his PhD from the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. His research investigated the affordances of applying multimodal analysis and machine learning to the domain of musical performance. Since then he has: worked as a research scientist at Twitter, developed large-scale multitouch technology for Nokia Research Labs, co-authored a popular book on the Arduino (Manning Publications), was awarded the Leonardo Fellowship, and has consulted on audio analysis, machine learning, and musical interactivity for high profile video games and audio technology companies. Jordan’s work has been featured online and in print, including Wired Magazine, Computer Arts Magazine, Make Magazine, XLR8R Magazine, The Creators Project, Processing.org, and Rhizome.org, to name a few. He has published dozens of technical papers in preeminent international publications, spanning the fields of music, art, human-computer interaction, cloud computing, and engineering.
