i-DAT’s research themes and projects provide a rich context for {Full Time or Part Time / local or remote} 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 70 PhD completions in a broad range of areas (design, software, Games, VR, AI, interactive architecture, robotics, play, and performance).

Supervisory teams draw on collaborating research groups in the School of Art, Design & Architecture / Faculty of Arts, Humanities & BusinessSustainable Earth Institute, and eHealth.

 

i-DAT researchers have been entangled with a range of interdisciplinary 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.

 

i-DAT is the catalyst behind the CODEX international Postgraduate Research network, in collaboration with Jiangnan UniversityNanjing University of the Arts and Soochow University in China.
