Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancesco Soave is a founder and PhD-trained researcher with nine years of experience at the intersection of haptics, VR, and creative technologies. His work investigates how touch and sound shape self-motion perception in virtual environments, combining HCI, UX design, IoT and sound design into experimental, application-focused systems. He has taught programming and GUI development at Queen Mary University of London, built web and audio projects as a freelancer, and brings hands-on implementation skills across Java, React, PHP and embedded/creative tech. Based in Milan but trained in the UK, he blends academic rigor with maker instincts—equally comfortable prototyping haptic hardware, composing sound for installations, or running a small business. His dream role is to craft tactile experiences for VR, informed by a rare mix of live-sound, software engineering and artistic practice.
