Summary
Jiffer Harriman is an engineer, designer, musician and researcher with 11 years of experience blending electrical engineering, DSP and software into interactive audio and immersive experiences. As adjunct faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder and former instructor at CU Denver, he builds toolkits for education, interactive sound installations and machine learning workflows that make sound both interactive and musical. His background spans academic research (Ph.D. in Technology, Media and Society; MA from Stanford) and industry work in DSP and FPGA applications at Xilinx and Sennheiser Research Labs, giving him deep expertise in signal processing, embedded systems and HCI. Known for bringing an artist’s sensibility to technical problems, he often prototypes physical computing systems that foreground play and musicality as design drivers. Based in Boulder, he combines rigorous research methods with practical engineering to create novel audio interfaces and teaching materials.
