Summary
Andy Stuhl is an assistant professor and interdisciplinary researcher who blends 11 years of software development and academic experience to study creative infrastructures and the politics of sound technologies. Trained at Stanford, MIT, and McGill (PhD in Communication Studies), he bridges sound studies, interaction design, and digital humanities to interrogate how audio systems shape cultural and technical practice. Prior to academia he shipped software at Performant and contributed to research projects at MIT, bringing practical engineering chops to experimental media work. His background in campus radio and audio production informs hands-on approaches to designing and critiquing sound technologies, not just theorizing them. Based in the United States, he is comfortable moving between code, studio practice, and scholarly publishing to surface the socio-technical implications of emerging audio infrastructures. Colleagues describe him as someone who turns arcane technical detail into accessible critique and tangible prototypes.
