About the lab

The Augmented Instruments Laboratory is jointly affiliated between the Dyson School of Design Engineering at Imperial College London and the Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) at Queen Mary University of London. From 2023 onward, all new PhD students and postdocs will join from Imperial, and the team will work together across institutions. Please see this news post for further details.

We regularly recruit new PhD students and postdocs to the lab. Please keep an eye on the Augmented Instruments Lab Twitter feed for announcements, or get in touch directly.
