ROBERT ALEXANDER, PHD
MY RESEARCH LIES AT THE INTERSECTION OF TECHNOLOGY AND CREATIVITY. I AM INTERESTED IN ADVANCING THE FIELD OF AUDITORY DATA ANALYSIS, I ALSO HOPE TO BUILD A LARGER BRIDGE BETWEEN THE ARTS AND SCIENCES. AS A MEMBER OF THE SOLAR HELIOSPHERIC RESEARCH GROUP, I WORKED TO CONSTRUCT SOFTWARE INTERFACES FOR EXPLORING SCIENTIFIC DATA IN NEW WAYS. THE CORE OF MY RESEARCH LIES IN DATA SONFICATION, A PROCESS THROUGH WHICH ANY KIND OF NON-AUDITORY DATA IS TRANSLATED AS SOUND. WE'RE TRANSFORMING SPACE DATA INTO THE SONIC REALM SUCH THAT WE CAN GAIN A NEW PERSPECTIVE, AND BEGIN TO ASK NEW QUESTIONS. MY LATEST EXPLORATION INVOLVES USING SOUND TO SUPPORT MEDITATION AND DEEP HEALING IN BOTH AT-HOME AND THERAPEUTIC SETTINGS. ROBERT IS THE CEO & CO-FOUNDER AT AURALAB AND A DATA SONIFICATION SPECIALIST.
