Virginia Tech's new individualized Human-Centered Design (HCD) iPhD
transdisciplinary degree is closely aligned with the newfound Institute
for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT, http://www.icat.vt.edu).
iPhD is a degree designed primarily to support individually tailored PhD
experiences, allowing students to actively participate in shaping their
plan of study. HCD iPhD closely interfaces with a number of other
on-campus programs, centers, institutes, and initiatives, including
Center for Human-Computer Interaction, Music, Visual Arts, and ICAT.
Interdisciplinary audio-centric research including (but not limited to)
design, composition, immersion, spatialization, maker, robotics, and
interaction plays an important component of the iPhD degree. The program
also offers highly competitive graduate assistantships. Students
interested in iPhD should apply online via the graduate school portal at

About HCD and Virginia Tech
HCD is the largest interdisciplinary iPhD program at Virginia Tech
hosting a growing number of graduate students whose scholarly focus is
on interdisciplinary audio-, music-, and multimedia-centric research.
Students engaging in the program will have an opportunity to engage in
the externally funded research, including NSF grants, entrepreneurship
opportunities and industry partnerships (e.g. NASA), as well as the
exploration of the unique Virginia Tech facilities, such as the $15M
1,600 sq.ft. 4-story Cube (http://www.icat.vt.edu/content/cube-0) with a
140+ loudspeaker system capable of supporting all of the cutting edge
spatialization algorithms, a 24-camera motion capture, multiple
projection surfaces including a deployable cyclorama, and tetherless
(backpack-based) VR/AR/MR solutions. Virginia Tech is also the home of
the Linux Laptop Orchestra (L2Ork, http://l2ork.music.vt.edu), Digital
Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio (DISIS), and as of fall 2017 of a
newly nationally accredited Creative Technologies in Music undergraduate
degree option that offers a unique mix of undergraduate
technology-centric research, computer music, innovation, and
entrepreneurship. Both graduate and undergraduate programs are designed
to interface with the newly introduced Destination Areas, an array of
campus-wide multi-million interdisciplinary initiatives, including the
Creativity & Innovation. A rapidly growing number of Virginia Tech
music, audio, and multimedia research interdisciplinary faculty group
includes:
