Dinesh Abiram

Dinesh Abiram is an Assistant Professor at CEPT University working across communication design, image culture, and interaction design. His teaching and research draw on semiotics and visual theory to examine how images produce meaning and mediate behaviour within cultural and technological systems. He is particularly interested in how images function within interfaces, platforms, and visual economies, shaping perception and agency. Abiram approaches images not as representations or aesthetic outcomes, but as operative elements within design and technology. His pedagogy integrates photography, moving image, and image systems as tools for inquiry, encouraging students to critically leverage images in the design of interactions, narratives, and experiences.
