We are currently seeking students interested in one (or more) of the following topic areas:

  • Augmented & Virtual Reality
  • Design Research
  • Digital Fabrication
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Interaction Design for Music
  • Playful and Programmable Technologies for Learning
  • Robotics
  • Shape Changing & Haptic User Interfaces
  • Smart Textiles & Materials
  • Tangible Interaction
