Research interests

I define myself as an environmental noise artist who integrates sound and soundscape studies with atmosphere and ambiance research to investigate contexts shaped by environments and their cultural interactions.

I am an Associate Lecturer at RMIT University Vietnam, teaching in the Design Studies Program within the School of Communication & Design. I am currently pursuing a practice-based PhD at RMIT University Melbourne, as part of the Practice Research Symposium (PRS) ASIA in the School of Design, College of Design and Social Context.

My research focuses on integrating cultural and spatial elements into a spatial noise practice, exploring the soundscape of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam through atmospheric studies.
