As a professor at UC Berkeley, Prof. Wessel was responsible for building the interdisciplinary Centre for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT). He has also been extremely important to CIRMMT and the Schulich School of Music, not only visiting the Centre as a Distinguished Lecturer and Artist in 2010, but also providing invaluable advice as a CIRMMT International Advisory Council member for the Science and Technology Sector.
Our most sincere condolences go to David's family and friends. He will be greatly missed.
