He is currently a researcher at Mälardalens University in Västerås and The Royal College of Music in Stockholm creating technologies for information retrieval, embedded systems, and audiovisual artistic processes. In 2024, he won Idélab’s Best innovation for his work involving digital gaming and music improvisation. Austin has several pieces for percussion published through [[C.
