Emma Frid est chercheuse et ingénieure. Ses recherches portent sur les technologies pour la musique et le son, l’accessibilité et la conception d’interfaces multimodales. Elle est titulaire d’un doctorat en informatique sonore et musicale du KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2020) sous la direction du professeur Roberto Bresin, avec une thèse intitulée « Diverse Sounds – Enabling Inclusive Sonic Interaction ». Elle a publié la première revue systématique sur les instruments de musique numériques accessibles (Accessible Digital Musical Instruments, ADMIs) et est certifiée CPACC (Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies) de l’IAAP. Avant de rejoindre l’Université Paris 8, elle a mené des recherches à l’IRCAM STMS (Paris), au Sound and Music Computing Group (KTH, Stockholm), à Adobe Research (San Francisco) et à l’IDMIL Input Devices and Music Interaction Laboratory (McGill, Montréal). Elle compte également dix années d’expérience dans l’enseignement de la programmation audio, du son dans l’interaction humain-machine, de la conception d’interfaces multimodales et de l’haptique.
