Ingrid Murphy is Academic Lead for Transdisciplinarity at Cardiff School of Art & Design, Ingrid is working with the integration of research and enterprise across the school's learning and teaching curricula and oversees the cross school interdisciplinary modules.  From 2008 -2013 Ingrid led CSAD's ceramic department, from 2011 to 2016 she led the Artist, Designer: Maker course. This innovative cross-disciplinary course focuses on fusing traditional craft skills with new and emerging processes in digital design and fabrication.

In 2013 Ingrid was awarded the University's student led Fellowship for Innovative Teaching and in 2015 she was awarded a National teaching fellowship for her contribution to higher education. Since 2015 Ingrid has led CSAD's applied research group in digital fabrication and associated processes: FabCre8.

A practicing ceramic artist, Ingrid exhibits internationally, and was a recipient of the Arts Council of Wales Creative Wales award for individual practice and was also shortlisted for the Ceramics Biennial Award in 2015, the Indian Ceramic Triennial in 2018, and Art Macau 2021.  In 2018 -19 ACW funded Ingrid's touring solo show of 23  interactive ceramic works entitled 'Seen and Unseen'

Her practice focuses on augmenting ceramic artefacts with a range of interactive technologies, exploiting the material characteristics of ceramics to create innovative interactions and experiences.

In 2018 Ingrid was selected for the British Councils Living Research project to investigate Maker culture in in China, in 2019 she received further funding to return to China to investigate the role of maker culture in interdisciplinary education.

Ingrid has a studio in France where she practices and also runs and develops co-learning projects with students.

Co-Investigator on the AHRC Creative Cluster project:  Clwstwr. This is a five-year programme focussed on research and development  to create new products, services and experiences for screen-based industries in South Wales. This involves working with a broad range of companies to develop and deliver R&D projects, examples include developing learning platforms for drama,  enhancing screen-based performance for the visually impaired,  reshaping the gig experience-  innovations in live virtual / physical performance, and geo located storytelling.

Creator EASTNDC: A Creative Europe Project 2017-2022 which brings together 16 institutions involved in research, technological development, creation and education in the field of technologies applied to artistic creation.  

Practice Led Research: Investigating how new technologies influence how we conceive, produce and perceive a crafted object. Producing a series of interactive ceramics works using sensors/actuators and electro-mechanical devices to exploit the physical characteristics of ceramic objects.

Pedagogic Research: Interdisciplinary curricula, technology enhanced learning, blended learning environments for Hyflex learning. Using real and virtual tools to assist learning in making processes

Awarded National Teaching Fellowship to develop the Meta-Objects Project : A collection of interactive objects which use AR and NFC devices to facilitate learning and link material, process and making databases

Leader of the FabCre8 research centre at Cardiff School of Art & Design, the centre focuses on applied research in the use of digital fabrication processes for multidisciplinary applications.
