Biography
Nick Bailey is a Director of the Centre for Music Technology and is based in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering at The University of Glasgow.
Upon graduating from The University of Durham in 1987, he worked at British Telecom Applied Technology "Comms Division" writing bespoke software for BT's larger customers, and maintaining large databases on alarmingly obsolete mainframe computers. Thus equipped with a working knowledge of the unhappy bedfellows of applied signal processing and corporate computing, he left as soon as etiquette would permit to return to Durham to read for a Ph.D. in The Application of Parallel Computers to the Processing of Musical Signals.
Appointed Lecturer in Electronic Engineering at the University of Leeds, he was a founder member and Deputy Director of their Interdisciplinary Centre for Scientific Research in Music (ICSRiM).
In 2000, he moved to The University of Glasgow to take over the directorship of the Electronic Engineering aspect of the CMT.
