Structure
The ATLAS PhD program is structured like any other research-based doctoral program in which you:
- Form听an advisory committee
- Complete course听
- Pass a qualifying examination
- Propose听a dissertation
- 颁辞苍诲耻肠迟听谤别蝉别补谤肠丑
- Write and defend your听dissertation
Curriculum
Unlike most U.S. doctoral programs, the ATLAS PhD听has few required courses.听Instead, students craft the curriculum individually,听working with their advisory committees to identify the expertise needed to research their focus area.
Required classes (to be taken during the first two years of study)
- ATLAS Graduate Research Methods听-听Students investigate a broad set of techniques for conducting theoretical, design听and experimental research and they explore how to formulate and investigate research questions using these methods.
- ATLAS Research Career Development听-听A discussion-style class with brief lectures, expert panels, and research projects aimed at helping students to be competitive and successful in today鈥檚 job market.
- ATLAS Colloquium听- Features dynamic speakers from academia and industry who work in fields of interest to the creative technology and design community.
ATLAS Research Lab Directors
ATLAS lab directors advise PhD students, create collaborative environments听and guide听research across a broad range of multi-disciplinary fields.
ACME Lab
Ellen Yi-Luen Do, Director
The ACME Creativity Machine Environment Lab explores and develops computational tools for design, creativity, cognition, tangible and embedded interaction, and computing for health and wellness.
Brain Music Lab
Grace Leslie, Director
The Brain Music Lab pursues research to promote health and well-being by combining new music technologies with biometric data from EEG brainwave data and other physiological measurement techniques.
Emergent Nanomaterials Lab
Carson Bruns, Director
By synthesizing and combining nanoscale building blocks, the Emergent Nanomaterials Lab designs technologies that enhance the quality of human lives in health, sensory augmentation and self-expression.
Living Matter Lab
Mirela Alistar, Director
Working at the intersection of biology, engineering and art, the Living Matter Lab interfaces with biological matter, the micro-world and the environment in unique ways.
Programmable Reality Lab
Ryo Suzuki, Director
The goal of Programmable Reality Lab is to make our whole living environment dynamic, interactive, and programmable听to transform our living space into a dynamic medium.
TYPO Lab
Joel Swanson, Director
TYPO Lab is an experimental studio for creative work and research related to the technologies of language. It empowers faculty and students to explore and appreciate the media and methods of words.
Unstable Design Lab
Laura Devendorf, Director
An advocate for the arts within engineering fields, the Unstable Design Lab focuses on advancing textile design and fabrication, including the integration of circuitry and other technologies.
Utility Research Lab
Michael Rivera, Director
The Utility Research Lab invents and investigates digital fabrication technology, tools and techniques that empower us to create things that positively impact people, society and the environment.
Crossing Disciplinary Boundaries
鈥淎TLAS is a community where the curious come together to cross disciplinary boundaries and push the limits of our knowledge. As a lab director, I鈥檓 excited to connect with people who can bring new perspective to our research, and are eager to positively impact people, society, and the environment.鈥�
鈥� Assistant Professor and Utility Research Lab Director, Michael Rivera
The ATLAS Institute is a rare place...
The ATLAS Institute is a rare place with a truly multi-disciplinary setup of research labs. As a PhD student, all I had to do was to walk next door to learn from, be inspired by, and collaborate with my colleagues who were working on robotics, textiles, biodesign, engineering, fabrication鈥攜ou name it. This has fundamentally shaped my view on how a productive and successful research institute should be as a design technologist, and is the model that I aim to recreate with my current position.
