Eve Poudrier is an Associate Professor in the School of Music at the University of British Columbia, specializing in music theory. She teaches courses on compositional practice from the 18th to 19th centuries, graphic linear analysis, and music psychology, focusing on Francophone music and the integration of digital technology in music research. Her academic background includes a DEC from Collège Lionel-Groulx, a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from the City University of New York. Poudrier has presented research at interdisciplinary conferences across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, and has publications featured in reputable journals such as Music Perception and Empirical Musicology Review.
