Daniel Mitelpunkt is Founder and Director of Imperial College London’s Digital Media Lab (DML), established to develop interactive and time-based solutions and media for learning and research.
The lab’s work ranges from spatial computing in traditional lecture theatres to VR digital twins of teaching labs, positioning DML as the university’s interdisciplinary hub for applied media.
DML is recognised for its close alignment with evolving needs and opportunities, and for its collaborative approach—working with leading academic and professional staff across the institution in both education and research. The team brings together expertise from gaming, broadcast, and XR, creating a dynamic environment for innovation. An inspirational external advisory board further enriches the lab’s work.
Beyond Imperial, Daniel is an active advocate for Creative Technology within Higher Education, championing stronger ties between academia and the creative industries and giving this emerging field a stronger voice.
