About
Dr. Kyle Worrall is a Lecturer in Game Design in the Music Department and holds a PhD in Intelligent Games and Games Intelligence from the University of York, where as part of the Centre for Doctoral Training in IGGi, his work specialised in the application of deep learning to video game music and explored the ways in which non-generative AI can be used to enhance player experiences. His further work explores how AI can be used to support audio professionals without infringing on the creative and fun parts of music creation, and more specifically into how musicians use and adopt such tools.
Beyond research, Kyle is the founder of University of York spinout Cocreative Technology LTD, which builds on his PhD IP which uses deep learning to perform music like humans, to develop ethical, human-in-the-loop AI tools for music creators, and he has a variety of experience in industry/freelance roles, which inform his teaching, such as: bass player in a signed death metal band; bass player on cruise ships; freelance game and film composer; freelance live sound engineer; and Junior Audio Programmer for Nemisindo LTD.
Kyle has previous experience as a Lecturer in Games Programming in the Computer Science department of Edge Hill University, and has completed a PGCTHE with distinction which explores the impact of neurodiversity on student attainment in HE settings.
