Associate Arts Professor of Practice of Music Technology, Matteo Marciano, received an award from NYU Technology Opportunities and Ventures (TOV) and the NYU Abu Dhabi Office of Research Translation and Entrepreneurship (RTE).

This recognition, conferred upon first-time innovators and patent creators at NYUAD, acknowledges Marciano's contributions to advancing the music-technology ecosystem on campus, particularly through the development, research, and innovative practices associated with Gazelien Records.

Gazelien Records is set to become NYU Abu Dhabi’s premier creative incubator, advancing innovation in music technology, sound production, and multimedia arts. This new initiative will bridge academic learning with professional industry practice, nurture emerging talent, and contribute directly to the UAE’s growing creative economy. It positions NYUAD as a global leader in creative education and a catalyst for regional cultural development.

The award also highlights Marciano's broader regional engagement, including efforts to foster interdisciplinary collaborations, mentor emerging talent, and expand the field of music production and audio innovation through research-driven and industry-aligned initiatives.
