J. Tomás Henriques, assistant professor, Music, earned the top prize at the 2010 Guthman Musical Instrument Competition at the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology. His double slide controller—a futuristic-looking instrument that uses hand controllers to modulate pitch and tone—suitably impressed the judges. The competition included over two dozen entries from six countries.

One of the world’s foremost experts in electric and digital music, Henriques taught at the University of Lisbon in Portugal for 13 years before joining the Music Department faculty in spring 2009. His research interests include human-computer interaction (HCI), music theory and composition, music and linguistics, and computer music.
