<p>The School of Interactive Arts & Technology (SIAT) is an
internationally recognized interdisciplinary school with a focus
on technology and the human experience. SIAT MSc., MA, and Ph.D.
students develop and apply innovative multi-disciplinary research
methods to explore the broader implications of advanced
information and media technologies. Guided by these studies,
they design new technology and media experiences that are
responsive to individual, organizational, and societal values.
SIAT’s infrastructure includes state-of-the- art teaching and
research facilities at Simon Fraser University’s Surrey
campus, combined with the capabilities of our many university
collaborators and partner organizations in the public and private
sectors.<br class="">
Students admitted to our graduate program can expect to receive
funding for multiple years in the form of scholarships and or
research and teaching assistantships. SIAT graduate students are
mentored in interdisciplinary research methods, international
academic publishing and conference presentation, and curation and
exhibition of media arts both locally and abroad.Our program’s
unique focus at the intersection of media arts, science,
and computing prepares graduates for diverse careers in the
technology sector and in academia. SIAT alumni hold leading
positions in industry and in tenure-track positions in
institutions around the world.<br class="">
<br class="">
Our specialized areas of research include, but are not limited to
the following:<br class="">
- Interactive Computing (visualization, human-computer
interaction, artificial intelligence, tangible interfaces, virtual
reality, game design and technology and other themes)<br class="">
- Media, Visual Arts and Performance (performance technology,
interactive animation, interactive environments and installations,
game narrative, film and video, audio/music, digital curation, and
other themes)<br class="">
- Design (parametric design, sustainable design, interaction

test theories of human perceptual, cognitive, interactive, and
communicative performance that are used to design, prototype, and
evaluate interactive systems in their context of use.<br class="">
