This was taken six years ago ... yes, I look a little older now: full head of hair is grey, face a little thinner, specs.

My page on the English Wikipedia has more details.

I'm a professional editor and research consultant. My doctoral dissertation was in the psychology of music reading, including the roles of en:working memory and en:eye movement. I work with researchers and academics in their preparation of grant applications for competitive research funding. Most of my clients are staff at Australian universities who are applying for funding from the en:Australian Research Council and the en:National Health and Medical Research Council. This typically involves the negotiation of text in the areas of engineering, chemistry, physics, biology and information technology, although some of my work brings me into contact with a much broader spectrum of research.

My first career was in the European art music of the 18th and 19th centuries, specialising in the compositional techniques that underlie style—how acoustics, culture and psychology intersect in harmony and en:voice leading—and the psychological and musculoskeletal patterns that support excellent performance, particularly on the keyboard. That career crashed and burned 11 years ago, but music is still a big part of my private identity.

I'm a journalist on en.WP's weekly news journal, The Signpost.

From a Meta perspective, I'm afraid the last French and German I did was at high school 40 years ago. I can limp along with google translate.
