Marcelo Mortensen Wanderley holds a Ph.D. degree from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI), France, on acoustics, signal processing, and computer science applied to music. His interdisciplinary research focuses on the development of novel interfaces for music performance. He has authored and co-authored several dozen scientific and technological publications on NIME, including the development of open databases on academic resources and sensor and actuator technologies for musical applications: the Interactive Systems and Instrument Design in Music Working Group (ISIDM) and the SensorWiki.org projects.
In 2000, he co-edited the first English language research reference entirely devoted to this area, Trends in Gestural Control of Music (Wanderley & Battier, 2000). In 2003, he chaired the second International Conference on New Interfaces for Music Expression (NIME03), and in 2006, he co-wrote the first textbook on this subject, New Digital Musical Instruments: Control and Interaction Beyond the Keyboard (Miranda & Wanderley, 2006). In 2008 he was a visiting professor at the Université de Bretagne Sud, France (Maître de Conférences), and in 2011, he was awarded a 2-month international chair at the Institute for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil. More recently, he was awarded a 5-year international research chair from Inria, France, the Francqui Foundation Chair at the University of Mons, Belgium, and the Distinguished Visitor Award at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. In September 2016, has was appointed a member of Computer Music Journal’s Editorial Advisory Board. He is a senior member of the ACM and of the IEEE.
Research from 2021 showed that his research was the most cited in the first two decades of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME).
