Guy Garnett serves at the University of Illinois as Associate Professor of Music, Director of the Illinois Informatics Institute (I3), and Associate Director for Research of eDream (the Emerging Digital Research and Education in Arts Media Institute). His research focuses on cultural computing (innovating creative technologies to enhance expression and create a positive cultural and societal impact); advanced full-bodied human-computer interaction models to control virtual worlds; musical and performance applications of machine-learning; and interactive computer performance. He is a Co-PI of the Creativity and Computing research theme at the Institute for Advanced Computer Applications and Technologies (IACAT). He was instrumental in defining and developing the Informatics PhD program, which he now directs, a highly flexible, student-centric post-disciplinary degree program at I3. Prior to his appointment at the University of Illinois, Garnett held research appointments at Stanford University's CCRMA, the Yamaha Corporation, and the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT) at UC Berkeley. In addition to developing high-end applications, Garnett composes for conventional and electronically extended musical instruments and ensembles.
