Research Programme: Biometric Interfaces, Sport, and Computational Material Systems
My research investigates how biometric, environmental, and behavioural data can be translated into new forms of perception, interaction, and communication through garments, materials, and computational systems.
Working across wearable technology, sports culture, material innovation, creative coding, AI, and speculative design, I develop projects that explore how physiological signals generated by the body can become new forms of interface.
Through physical prototypes, sensing garments, responsive materials, generative visualisation, olfactory systems, and AI-assisted technologies, this research examines how computational systems might move beyond screens and become embedded within the lived experience of the body.
Rather than treating technology solely as a tool for optimisation and performance tracking, the work explores how interfaces can reveal invisible relationships between movement, emotion, environment, memory, identity, performance, and social behaviour.
At its core, the research asks how bodies are understood, represented, and transformed through systems of sport, clothing, technology, and measurement.
Body as Interface
How can garments and wearable systems function as interfaces through which computational systems perceive, interpret, and communicate human experience?
Biometric Translation
How can biometric data be transformed from quantitative measurements into qualitative experiences, enabling new relationships between physiological states, sensory outputs, and computational systems?
Embodied Data
How can physiological signals such as movement, muscular activity, heat, sweat, respiration, heart rate, and environmental exposure be translated into meaningful sensory experiences?
Alternative Interfaces
What forms of interaction emerge when data is communicated through atmosphere, scent, light, texture, behaviour, material transformation, or spatial experience rather than screens and numerical dashboards?
AI and Interpretation
How can AI systems act as translators between bodily experience and sensory outputs, generating new forms of human-machine co-creation?
Computational Materiality
How can responsive materials, biofabricated systems, and smart textiles participate in computational processes and create new forms of interaction?
Measurement and the Athletic Body
How do sensing technologies transform the body into data, and what forms of knowledge, power, identity, and behaviour emerge when athletic experience becomes increasingly quantified?
Sport, Masculinity, and Identity
How do sporting environments, athletic garments, and technological systems participate in the construction and performance of masculinity, and how might emerging interfaces reveal alternative forms of embodiment, intimacy, vulnerability, and social connection within sport?
Invisible Bodies
What aspects of human experience remain invisible to traditional forms of measurement, and how might biometric interfaces reveal emotional, social, environmental, and cultural dimensions of bodily experience?
Long-Term Vision
This research aims to contribute to a broader understanding of how bodies, materials, technologies, and environments interact as interconnected systems.
By bringing together biometric data, sport, fashion, material innovation, embodied sensing, AI, and computational design, the work seeks to develop new forms of interface that move beyond efficiency and optimisation toward richer experiences of perception, communication, and human connection.
Ultimately, the goal is to create technologies that do not simply measure the body, but help us understand what it means to inhabit one.
