BIO

Dr Angad Nayyar works across architecture, engineering, and immersive computing, with a focus on how people experience, understand, and interact with the built environment. His career and education span professional practice, research, and teaching across Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur, London, and Melbourne. His work sits at the intersection of architecture, digital technologies, and human-centred design, bringing together Building Information Modelling (BIM), game engines, extended reality (XR), and emerging technologies to support education, design, and healthcare.

Angad's academic career has been supported by competitive scholarships and research funding, and his contributions to teaching and curriculum development have been recognised and awarded within Deakin University's Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment in 2025.

Outside academia, he develops interactive digital experiences, produces electronic music and videos on YouTube with nearing 3k subs, and flies FPV drones, viewing creative practice as an extension of his research and design work.
