Jeff Burke

I am a professor of theater and associate dean, research and technology at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT). I co-direct REMAP, the Center for Research in Engineering, Media, and Performance, a joint effort of TFT and the Samueli School of Engineering at UCLA.

My research interests are primarily in the use of emerging technologies in performance and other live experiences. I am also increasingly interested in how artists and human creative expression should guide fundamental technology development.

This site provides an overview and links out to some of my projects, with the most current work towards the top.
