Our research focuses on sound in relationship with technology, the environment, and human listening. It includes sound technology, sound studies, Human Computer Interaction (HCI), sound design, philosophy of science and technology, spatial audio, interactive audio, and creative media.

Yaohan Zhang





Yaohan Zhang is an interdisciplinary designer and artist who graduated from Goldsmiths, University of London in Dec 2023 with a First Class Masters in Design, specialized in Expanded Practice, Space and Participation. My practice challenges traditional design paradigms and the process of incorporating interdisciplinary elements into design. I have a solid foundation in design thinking with a deep understanding and exploration of spatial narratives, participatory design, immersive experiences, and materials. I focus on the entire design process, from concept generation and extended research to the application of methodologies. I use a comprehensive design approach to ensure impactful outcomes, including artistic visual expression, writing, and printed materials involved in design. I have a diverse range of perspectives and view design as a tool for critique and practice.
