Dear Art Department Community, We are pleased to Dear Art Department Community, We are pleased to announce that this week’s talk in our Fall 2025 Arts Colloquium is Jennifer Jacobs. Please Join us on Thursday, October 30th at Embarcadero Hall at 5:00pm. I am an Assistant Professor at the University of California Santa Barbara in Media Arts and Technology and Computer Science (by courtesy), where I direct the Expressive Computation Lab. I work across the fields of computational art and design, human computer interaction, and systems engineering. My research lab investigates ways to support expressive computer-aided design, art, craft, and manufacturing by developing new computational tools, abstractions, and systems that integrate emerging forms of computational creation and digital fabrication with traditional materials, manual control, and non-linear design practices. More broadly, we examine how we can enable art and design professionals to leverage their domain expertise to develop personal software tools. I received my Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab and completed my postdoctoral research in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University. I also received an M.F.A. and B.F.A from Hunter College and the University of Oregon respectively. My research has been presented at international venues including SIGGRAPH, DIS, CACM, Ars Electronica and CHI and I am the recipient of the NSF CAREER Award.
