Dr Roxanne Korda has recently completed a PHD Midland4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership with BCU, exploring how to use science in creating new works of opera. She has a a MMus in Vocal Performance (Distinction) from Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, having previously studied Physics and Philosophy and Environmental science.

She recently gave a public research seminar for Royal Birmingham Conservatoire on the topics of her PhD (March 5th).
