Florian Grond is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Design and Computation Arts within Concordia University's Faculty of Fine Arts. His interdisciplinary work bridges media arts, technology, and disability studies through innovative sonic research.
His research focuses on Spatial and Immersive Audio, Assistive Technology Design, and Critical Disability Studies, with significant contributions to auditory display, human-computer interaction, and participatory design methodologies. Grond develops technologies that center disability perspectives, particularly through collaborations with blind scholars and autistic individuals.
His publication trends reveal strong specialization in
- 3D sound recording techniques using Ambisonic microphone arrays
- Biomusic systems for autism intervention
- Ethical frameworks for disability technology
- Artistic sonification practices
Grond actively engages in artistic practice through installations like DELAY (collaborating with Mary Sherman and Piet Devos) and has curated disability-focused exhibitions including Hands On! at Concordia's Critical Disability Studies Working Group.
His academic trajectory includes postdoctoral research at McGill University's CIRMMT and Shared Reality Lab, where he pioneered 6-degrees-of-freedom sound recording systems. He previously served as research lead for ZYLIA, a VR/AR microphone array company.
