Design Lab graduate students and postdocs spend many years at the lab completing original body of work with a design-centered focus. Although the Design Lab does not yet have a Ph.D. program, some students enrolled in Ph.D. programs in existing UC San Diego departments work on design-related dissertations with relevant Design Lab faculty (see graduate education). Visiting researchers also join the lab for shorter periods.
