Top School

Florian Grond is an Assistant Professor in Design and Computation Arts at Concordia University who blends interaction design, immersive 3D audio engineering, and critical disability studies to create research-driven art and assistive technologies. With a Dr. rer. nat. in HCI and nearly a decade of focused experience in immersive sound recording, he has pioneered higher-order ambisonics workflows—contributing code to the SuperCollider sc3-plugins ecosystem—and was among the first to field-record with a 6-DoF system at McGill. His work bridges academia, curated exhibitions, and industry (including a role with Zylia), producing SSHRC- and FRQSC-funded research-creation projects that explore neurodiverse and multisensory experiences. He frequently collaborates with artists and academics with disabilities, translating participatory design into tangible sonic artifacts, pedagogy, and public-facing exhibitions.
