PhD Opportunity (QMUL S&E Underrepresented Group Studentships) - Collaborative Motion‑Based Hybrid Live Coding
About the PhD position
A position for UK/Home eligible students from Underrepresented Groups is available on the topic of “Collaborative Motion‑Based Hybrid Live Coding”.
We are seeking prospective PhD applicants for a project on human–human and human–robot live coding performance and musical co‑creation via haptic communication. The research will investigate how a robot or a another human can perceive musical intent of a partner, generate its own “code” in real time, and perform in a shared creative environment. We are especially interested to see how this can be realised through motion features and haptic input.
Co-supervisors: Dr Ekaterina Ivanova & Dr Anna Xambó Sedó
Keywords: live coding, human-robot interaction, haptic input
