Summary
Corey Ford is a lecturer and HCI researcher with eight years’ experience at the intersection of AI, music and interaction design, currently teaching Computer and Data Science at UAL’s Creative Computing Institute. His PhD work and postdoctoral projects focus on creativity support tools and human-AI co-creation for music, including applied research with a company building real-time generative-composition systems that don’t rely on large prerecorded datasets. He combines curriculum development and hands-on teaching across UX, software engineering and audio programming with practical expertise in C++, Processing/P5.js and machine learning. Known for translating research into usable interfaces, he also builds explainable-AI demos and generative music prototypes that foreground reflective, musician-centred workflows. Based in Maidenhead, UK, he brings a rare blend of music-technology craft and data-science rigor that helps students and collaborators bridge artistic practice with responsible AI.
