Keaton Shurilla

I am a 1st year PhD student in the optical sciences program at the University of Arizona. Previously, I received a master’s degree in informatics from the University of Tsukuba, where I was advised by Prof. Yoichi Ochiai in the Digital Nature Group. Prior to that, I earned a BS in electrical engineering from Brigham Young University with university honors, advised by Prof. Daniel Smalley as a member of the Electro-Holography Lab.

My research is fixed at the nexus of 3D displays and physical informatics—I’m interested in designing interactive photonic systems using physical learning. As a PhD student my quest is to free the user from the pixel prison of modern technology by creating cyber-physical interfaces that autonomously adapt in-situ. My current focus is on guided-wave acousto-optic devices for holographic video and multimodal volumetric displays.

In addition to my academic work, I am a media artist, DJ and write electronic music.
