Biography

I am a lecturer in Digital Innovation at MA Innovation Management, Central Saint Martins. My work centres around the examination of how new technologies will shape the future for creatives and engineers, encompassing scientific research within evolving technological landscapes such as data science, machine learning, and blockchain. Prior to this, my PhD at Imperial College London, Faculty of Engineering, focused on creativity in a decentralised environment, and was continued through a study on emotional AI with IBM Watson.

I am currently a creative director at verse, a platform for digital art and a founder of NGUYEN WAHED, a London-based gallery with the focus on generative and contemporary art practices, and the connection between technology and artistic expression. My previous works have been exhibited and presented at Metrotopia, Venice Architecture Biennale, Open Book by Kenny Schachter (2023), CHI (Computer-Human Interaction) ACM, New Orleans (2022), London Transport Museum, Futures Gallery (2021), Great Exhibition Road Festival, London (2019), LVMH Theatre, Central Saint Martins London (2016), St. Anne's Church Soho, London (2015), Spokojna Gallery, Krzysztof Wodiczko Studio, Warsaw (2015), Rundgang UdK, Berlin (2014), Turbo Gallery, Warsaw (2014), European Capital of Culture, Studio of Spatial Activities of Miroslaw Balka, Umeå, Sweden (2014), Salon Gallery, Warsaw (2014), The New York Art Book Fair, Museum of Modern Art, New York (2013).

My background is in Media Art, which I studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Warsaw and Universität der Künste, Berlin. Previous research on creativity and human-computer interaction has been published by Cambridge University Press, the Design Research Society, the Association for Computing Machinery, FlashArt and TIME Magazine.
