Summary
Nick Hwang is an associate professor and co-founder with a decade of experience designing interactive systems that transform audiences into performers, drawing on a PhD in Experimental Music in Digital Media. Based in Milwaukee, he blends academic research and hands-on creative practice to bridge music composition, digital media, and web-based experiences. At University of Wisconsin–Whitewater he has progressed from assistant to associate professor while also co-founding Concept Blue Media to apply research in public-facing projects.
