Bio:
Yuan-Yi Fan studied computer music, media art, and multimedia engineering in Media Arts & Technology at University of California Santa Barbara. His research has evolved from new interfaces for musical expression, to audiovisual synthesis techniques, to creative music information retrieval applications. Currently he works at a Hollywood-based startup. He designs futuristic product UX by engineering systems that combine HCI/DSP/ML research with emerging media technologies. He made creative projects with natural user interfaces and connected devices at industrial research labs, including Nokia Research Center, Oblong Industries, and Nokia Advanced Design Studio.
His works have been presented and exhibited at festivals, museums, and conferences, including ACM Multimedia (ACM MM), ACM User Interface Software and Technology (ACM UIST), International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR), International Computer Music Conference (ICMC), New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME), International Community for Auditory Display (ICAD), Leonardo, Leonardo Music Journal, WOCMAT/IRCAM Forum (International Workshop on Computer Music and Audio Technology), The 1st L.A.S.T. Festival, International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA), IEEE VIS, Currents New Media Festival, ZERO1 Biennial, Dongdaemon Design Plaza (DDP), and ZKM Globale: inSONIC. Before UCSB, he built MEMS ultrasound array transducers at the Ultrasound Imaging Lab in Taiwan.
