Marc Groenewegen (1962) was educated as a software- and hardware-engineer. He started his career with Philips Research, using psycho-acoustic models for data compression of audio and making software and hardware for performing research in that field. During those years he followed various additional courses in the field of systems- and software-design, digital signal processing and UNIX/Linux system management.
Marc has been teaching at HKU since November 2000, initially about programming for the internet. He joined the Music & Technology department in February 2002 to participate in the European MEDIATE project (Multisensory Environment Design for an Interface between Autistic and Typical Expressiveness) as a member of the development team. Some of his main contributions were the behaviour analysis software and a system heartbeat monitor.

From early 2002 until today Marc teaches a range of subjects in the field of software design for music applications.
