Publications

Artistic research or practice-led research in art and design has been central in Nithikul Nimkulrat's scholarly work since 2004. Her research interest is rooted in hands-on experience, materials, and processes and has recently shifted towards interdisciplinarity, combining science and technology with design. The strength of her academic merits with regard to knowledge in artistic and interdisciplinary research has been proven through an excellent, accumulating record of peer-reviewed publications which include 1 single-authored book, 4 edited books, 11 book chapters, 24 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals, 29 peer-reviewed conference papers, 7 journal special issues, 7 conference proceedings, and 7 conference, exhibition and book reviews, listed in a reverse chronological order below.
