• Research Interests and Associated Blogs

  • Sonic Interaction Design, where I exploit sound as a principal channel for conveying information in interactive contexts. SID has been cultivated from scratch as a multidisciplinary research field by the COST Action IC0601 and by my Academy Research Fellowship Project "Synthesis, Control, and Hierarchical Event Modeling Algorithms for Sonic Interaction Design" (Schema-SID) [Academy of Finland, 120583].
  • Product Sound Design, a trans-disciplinary field where I shape the auditory attributes of products that naturally produce sound (electric razors, toothbrushes, kitchenware), or can be enhanced by computation means (smartphones, computer input devices, displayless embedded systems, etc) by using a structured process. In this process, I make use of physically-based digital sound synthesis models as a tool, and collaborate extensively with the Aalto Design Factory on the soft-skills related to my structured process.
  • Mobile Audio Programming, where I develop and teach audio-based interactive mobile applications on various mobile operating systems, SDKs, and APIs.
  • Rhythmicity in Sonic Interaction, where I experiment with musical (and in the future social) rhythms in sonic interaction design.
