About
Dr. Cabrera's current research in interactive distributed computation is directed towards tackling the diverse complex issues around computational workflows in scientific research through the merging of human-computer interaction, literate computing, and multimedia display. In his role as CREATE Research Director he leads interactive distributed computation research and development at the Allosphere Research Facility. The Allosphere, a unique instrument for interactive real-time scientific visualization has been used in scientific collaborations across scales from the atomic, through the nano to the biological.
Dr. Cabrera is adjunct faculty in the Media Arts and Technology Program at UC Santa Barbara and received his PhD at Queen's University Belfast under the direction of Dr. Gary Kendall, a pioneer of computer music and spatial audio digital signal processing. He has unique experience in HDLAs (High Density Loudspeaker Arrays) through his work in the Sonic Lab in the Sonic Arts Research Centre and the Allosphere at UCSB.
Dr. Cabrera has worked for more than six years as a professional sound designer and audio engineer and has taught at the undergraduate and graduate level in three countries. His musical and multimedia work has included diverse collaborations and media with an emphasis on interactivity and user involvement. With over 20 years of research experience in audio and digital signal processing, he was a long time contributor to the Csound language and developed the widely-distributed Csound development environment CsoundQt. With Dr. Joseph Tilbian, he developed the Stride programming language aimed at simplifying development for interactive embedded and heterogenous systems.
Dr. Cabrera has been a member of 5 successful Doctoral committees in the MAT program.
