about
Ali Napier is currently Support Specialist on the Digital Interaction Design (DIxD – formerly Interactive Media Design) undergraduate program at University of Dundee.
He also supports the world-renowned Masters program in Design Ethnography, led by Dr. Catriona Macaulay. As well as keeping the design studios going, he teaches Physical Computing to Applied Computing students at the University’s School of Computing , as well as those on the DIxD program.
He regularly advises on technology for other programs in both School of Computing and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design.
Ali has had a chequered career – starting off as a linguist, he then became a professional musician and music technologist, and finally spent a few years in network management before coming back to Dundee (his home town) to take up his current post.
Ali is married, with a 6-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter. Despite all these onerous commitments he can still occasionally be seen – and indeed heard – reliving his youth in the excellent AOR cover band Miami Vince.
