André Mestre is a researcher and sound artist working at the intersections between creativity, technology, and learning. At the Centre for the Science of Learning and Technology (SLATE), he is investigating if and how immersive virtual environments can promote creative learning experiences in higher education. He has previously published on topics of creativity in engineering education and the development of new musical interfaces.

Computer-Assisted Creativity and Learning in Higher Education
This doctoral research project investigates how university students interact with the emerging technologies that are reshaping our classrooms. In recent years we have seen the rapid development and broad dissemination of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. It is anticipated that these tools will have a big impact on how we create and learn. Still, there is little understanding of what it means to "think with AI" or what "learning through reality media" looks like. Across one theoretical paper and two case studies, one in Norway and another in Chile, the project will set out to understand the creative affordances of our new learning ecologies in higher education.

If you would like to collaborate on a project do not hesitate to get in touch.
I would love to hear from instructors who are interested in bringing emmerging technologies into their classrooms.
Likewise, if you are an artist/musician interested in experimental music, new interfaces, or sound installations, and you would like to collaborate, do send me an e-mail.
