PGR: ResM/MPhil/PhD…

i-DAT’s research themes and projects provide a rich context for Full Time and Part Time research students from a variety of disciplines, who can engage with these initiatives and build research activity grounded in their creative practice.

i-DAT’s core supervisory team has more than 50 PhD completions in a broad range of areas (design, software, interactive architecture, play, performance and robotics). Supervisory teams draw on collaborating research groups in the School of Art, Design & Architecture / Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Business, Sustainable Earth Institute, Cognition Institute. and eHealth.

i-DAT researchers have been involved in the following supervisory teams, most notably through a collaboration (since 1996) with Professor Roy Ascott’s Planetary Collegium and its Nodes in Italy, Switzerland, Greece and China.
