Dr Phillip Gough
Program Director, Biodesign Major
Dr Phil Gough is a Senior Lecturer in Design in the Affective Interactions Lab in discipline of design, and the Program Director of the Major in Biological Design. He teaches between the Design Lab and School of Life and Environmental Sciences in biological design, creative coding, interaction design and data visualisation. His research at Westmead looks into applications of design-driven biology.
Phil is researching design-driven biology, or biodesign. This nascent field applies design methods to define a problem from user needs, which can be solved with the application of cutting-edge medical science research. This research is highly interdisciplinary, and Phil is looking for new opportunities to expand research in this area.
Phil's research also explores creativity-led data visualisation. This includes the way that artists and designers create data visualisations, their methods, motivations and reflections on the visalisation process. Phil also investigates how creative activities contribute to science education, as well as developing new activities for teaching science that places students in the role of creator to help them understand complex scientific concepts.
