Welcome... I am a visiting research fellow at Media Arts & Technology (MAT) and an assistant research scientist at the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). My research focuses on interactive authoring systems and on computer-assisted media editing techniques. It combines methods from human-computer interaction, computational design and aesthetics, and real-time multimedia processing. My work is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF).

Biography
Stefan Müller Arisona is a postdoctoral research fellow at Media Arts and Technology (MAT) of the University of California, Santa Barbara. His main interests are at the intersections of art and technology, and his research focuses on novel real-time multimedia systems and on live composition and performance techniques. Stefan received an MSc in Computer Science from Uppsala University (Sweden, 1997) and a MSc in Electrical Engineering from ETH Zurich (Switzerland, 1998). He was visiting researcher at IRCAM Centre Pompidou (France, 2003) and completed his PhD at the University of Zurich's Multimedia Lab (Switzerland 2004). From 2005 to 2007, Stefan was a post-doctoral researcher and lecturer at ETH Zurich's Computer Systems Institute, and he was scientific chair of the Digital Art Weeks, an annual symposium and festival that explores new movements in digital art. Stefan has performed internationally and his art works have appeared at renowned venues such as the Ars Electronica Center (Austria, 2006 - 2008), or the Cabaret Voltaire (Zurich, 2006 and 2007).
