Past Research Assistant

André Arnold is an industrial designer and a Ph.D. student in the Special Individualized Programs (SIP) at Concordia University. He has worked for the Neil Squire Foundation Brain-Computer Interface Lab, the Mobile Digital Commons Network (MDCN), and other Hexagram projects. A rural upbringing in the Yukon Territories and British Columbia motivated him to pursue his interests in ecological sustainability and rural healthcare. His research explores design ethics related to the development of intelligent textile-based wearable biomedical instruments for telehealthcare. His design practice is conceptually centered around wearable computer architecture and mobile sensor network design. In practice, his work is implemented through 3D digital design: modeling, rapid prototyping, digital scanning, molding, and CNC milling.
