Paul Vickers is a computer scientist. He is a chartered engineer. He teaches and researches in the computing domain where it intersects with creative digital media. For instance, he teaches introductory digital audio; he conducts research into how to use sound to communicate data and information (sonification) and he also looks at how the aesthetic properties of scientific artefacts affect how they may be used, that is, how people interact with them.

He collaborates with computer and network security specialists, with 3D modellers and digital special effects experts, with musicians, with artists, and, of course, with other computer scientists and engineers.
