'''Bruno Zamborlin''', PhD (born 1983 in [[Vicenza]]) is an Italian [[AI]] [[researcher]] and [[entrepreneur]] based in [[London]], [[UK]].<br />
He is considered a pioneer in the field of converting physical objects into touch-sensitive, interactive surfaces using vibration sensors and [[Artificial Intelligence]].<br />
In 2013 he founded [https://www.mogees.co.uk/ Mogees Limited], the London-Los Angeles based start-up whose products enable users to transform everyday objects into musical instruments and games using a vibration sensor and a mobile phone (100,000 units sold worldwide).<br />
In 2017 he founded [https://www.hypersurfaces.com/ HyperSurfaces], a technology platform which converts physical surfaces of any material, shape and form into data-enabled, interactive surfaces using a vibration sensor and a coin-sized chipset.<br />
As an artist, he produces art installations around the world and performs with UK-based electronic music duo [[Plaid_(band)|Plaid]] ([[Warp_(record_label)|Warp records]]).
== Early life & education ==
Zamborlin was born in Vicenza, Italy.
After attending a degree in Mathematics between [[University of Padua]] (IT) and [http://liacs.leidenuniv.nl/ Liacs] (Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science, NL), he enrolled in a master degree in Computer Science in [[University of Bologna]] (IT) which he has been awarded with summa cum laude.
He worked at the music technology centre [[Tempo Reale]] in [[Florence]] between 2004 and 2005, developing several software for computer-aided music composition for kids of age 6-18.
In 2008 Zamborlin moved to [[Paris]], where he lived for 3 years. During this time he has been working at the [[IRCAM]] (Institute for Research and Coordination Acoustic Musical) – [[Centre Pompidou]] as a member of the [http://ismm.ircam.fr/people/ Sound Music Movement Interaction] team.
Under the supervision of [https://www.ircam.fr/person/frederic-bevilacqua/ Frederic Bevilacqua], he started experimenting with the use of [[Artificial Intelligence]] and human movements. He contributed to the creation of [http://ismm.ircam.fr/gesture-follower/ Gesture Follower], a software used to analyse body movements of performers and dancers in order to control sound and visual media in [[real-time]]. Different gestures could trigger different media as well as slowing and speeding up their reproduction based on the way such gestures are performed. An example of productions based in the Gesture Follower can be found here and here.
In 2011 Zamborlin relocated to London, where in 2013 he was granted a joint [[Doctor_of_Philosophy|PhD]] between [[Goldsmiths,_University_of_London|Goldsmiths, University of London]] and [[IRCAM|IRCAM - Centre Pompidou]]/[[Pierre_and_Marie_Curie_University|Pierre and Marie Curie University, Paris 6]] in AI with the title [https://edb.upmc.fr/projet-recherche-doctoraux/afficher/4184 'Designing for Appropriation of Digital Music Technology']. The PhD focuses on the concept of Interactive Machine Learning applied to digital musical instruments and performing arts.
The jury panel included [[Reactable]]'s inventor [[Sergi_Jorda|Sergi Jorda]].
