Dr Gregory Leplatre serves as a Lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University's School of Computing Engineering and the Built Environment. He is actively involved with two major research groups: the Centre for Interaction Design and the Centre for Algorithms, Visualisation and Evolving Systems. His work spans across multiple interdisciplinary domains where technology meets human experience. Leplatre's research interests focus on the intersection of sound, visualization, and human interaction. He has made significant contributions to audio-visual interface design, particularly in developing tools that translate sound into visual representations through cymatics. His work extends to therapeutic applications, especially in using real-time 3D graphics to enhance music therapy sessions for individuals on the autism spectrum. Leplatre also investigates speech articulation, soundscape mapping, and multimodal interfaces that create natural cross-modal mappings between visual inputs and sound synthesis. His publication record reveals a consistent trajectory exploring how visual representations of sound can enhance user experience and therapeutic outcomes. Over the past decade, his research has increasingly focused on therapeutic applications for autism spectrum disorder, while maintaining strong foundations in sound synthesis techniques and interface design principles. The work demonstrates a progression from theoretical exploration of audio-visual correspondences to practical implementations with real-world impact. As an academic supervisor, Leplatre has directed or co-supervised numerous doctoral projects, including research on sketching interfaces for sound synthesis, real-time 3D graphic augmentation of music therapy, and emotion recognition in conversational agents. His grant portfolio includes projects like 'Micro-phonics' funded by the Scottish Funding Council and 'Personalisation and the ATM' funded by Innovate UK, demonstrating his ability to secure research funding across different domains. Within the Centre for Interaction Design and the Centre for Algorithms, Visualisation and Evolving Systems, Leplatre contributes to a vibrant research ecosystem focused on creating meaningful human-computer interactions through innovative visualization and sound techniques. His work bridges artistic expression with technical innovation, creating tools that make sound visible and tangible for both therapeutic and creative purposes.
