Subject: PhD Position Human-Computer Interaction in Musical Interfaces, ETH Zurich From: Stefano Papetti <Stefano.Papetti@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2014 11:46:47 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------060609060401010502000803 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology=20 <http://www.icst.net> at ZHdK Zurich and the Music Technology Group=20 <http://www.wearable.ethz.ch/research/groups/Music> within the Wearable=20 Computing Lab at ETH Zurich, have launched a joint research project=20 entitled "Audio-Haptic Modalities in Musical Interfaces" (grant awarded=20 by the Swiss National Science Foundation). The project aims at the=20 design and evaluation of digital musical instruments yielding=20 audio-haptic feedback. Within the project, a PhD position has been opened at ETH Zurich,=20 addressing two main research topics: 1. Measurement, signal processing and data analysis on musical=20 instruments (e.g. stringed or wind). The main focus lies in vibration=20 measurements at areas normally in contact with the player and related=20 gesture measurements. 2. Design and evaluation of sensors and actuators for the implementation=20 of new prototype interfaces. This activity can comprise the use of piezo=20 technology for sensing and vibrotactile feedback, the use of laser=20 vibrometer for non-contact measurement, identification of low and high=20 level gestures. Requirements: - MSc degree in EE, CS or mechanics. - a major in e.g. signal processing, sensor and actuator systems,=20 human-computer interfaces, machine learning. - a strong interests in the combination of theoretical and=20 experimental research also in collaboration with professional musicians. Starting date: asap For further information please contact Prof. Gerhard Tr=F6ster=20 <http://www.ife.ee.ethz.ch/people/gerhartr/index>.
