Summary
R Dubois is a Professor of Integrated Design & Media at NYU and co-director of the IDM programs at Tandon, bringing over a decade of experience at the intersection of engineering, creative practice, and media technology. With a DMA in Music Composition and a background as a software engineer and product manager at Cycling ’74, they blend rigorous artistic training with practical systems and tool-building expertise. They train students across video, sound, XR, motion capture, accessibility, biodesign, wearables, and virtual production, and run one of the only NASAD-accredited design degrees housed within an engineering school. Known for fostering work that bridges social justice, sustainability, and civic technology, Dubois is an effective connector between industry hiring needs and highly versatile, production-ready graduates. An underappreciated strength is their ability to translate experimental art practice into robust curricular and product outcomes that prepare students for both industry and research careers.
