Biography
Miles Thorogood, Assistant Professor, Music Technology in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at The University of British Columbia, Kelowna, BC, Canada. He directs the Sonic Production Intelligence Research and Applications Lab to investigate extending human creative potential in sound production.
His research interests include audio signal analysis and synthesis, spatial audio, urban sound design, digital musical instruments, and machine learning to probe creativity, sound perception, and cultural engagement. He also has substantial experience collaborating with industry partners, municipal governments and cultural institutions. His work in computational soundscape studies with the Audio Metaphor system was recognized with the R. Murray Schafer Soundscape Award and Glenfraser Acoustic Communication Research Award.

Miles Thorogood Research Gate Profile
Research Interests & Projects
Miles Thorogood is an artist/engineer at the University of British Columbia with research in the practice and theory of sound design and interactive digital art. His research seeks to identify formal models of creativity as it is by investigating aspects of human perception and design process in order to encode creative structures for computer-assisted technologies in art-making environments. Miles specializes in quantitative and qualitative methods from Music Information Retrieval, Human Computer Interaction, and Artificial Intelligence toward cutting edge research in the development of novel computational models and systems for artistic creation. Research contributions include new knowledge in the fields of soundscape studies, affective computing, music information retrieval, and media arts. The research has been featured as interactive museum exhibits, installations, and performances. The interactive installation and performance works frame the research in creative practice that brings meaningful contexts of experience and environment to the foreground using algorithmic processes combining art-making, audio and visual media, databases, artificial intelligence, and physical and network computing.
