Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Primett is an interaction designer and researcher with a decade of experience at the intersection of movement computing, affective wearables, and creative AI, currently working as a Knowledge Transfer Specialist at the University of Tartu. He earned a PhD exploring non-verbal communication with physiological sensors and advocates for non-representational biofeedback that supports interpersonal dialogue rather than clinical labeling. William’s work bridges performance and engineering—developing textile-based expressive interfaces, teaching ubiquitous movement sensing and creative ML, and contributing R&D to dance-technology and film cognition projects. He combines hands-on prototyping (hardware and CUDA-enabled audio tools) with computational neuroscience and affective computing, making him adept at translating complex biosignal research into tangible experiences. An interesting throughline: his research deliberately reframes biodata as an aesthetic and communicative medium, not merely diagnostic information.
