Philippe Pasquier is a professor at Simon Fraser University's School of Interactive Arts and Technology, where he leads the Metacreation Lab for Creative AI. His work centers on developing generative systems for creative tasks, combining his expertise as a scientist specializing in artificial intelligence, a software designer, a multidisciplinary media artist, an educator, and a community builder. Philippe's research bridges fundamental studies on generative systems, machine learning, affective computing, and computer-assisted creativity, with applied research in the creative software industry and artistic practices in interactive and generative art.

He has co-authored over 200 peer-reviewed publications and created a popular MOOC on Generative Art and Computational Creativity on the Kadenze platform. Philippe initiated and chaired the International Workshop on Musical Metacreation (MUME) and the MUME concert series, which led to the formation of the Joint Conference on AI Music Creativity. He also founded the International ACM Conference on Movement and Computation (MOCO) and directed the Vancouver edition of the International Symposium on Electronic Arts (ISEA2015). Philippe serves as a Senior Program Committee member for the Joint International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI).

The research from the Metacreation Lab is widely applied by companies like Teenage Engineering, Steinberg, and Microsoft. Philippe's artistic works have been showcased at prestigious venues globally, including Ars Electronica, Centre Pompidou, and the Sydney Biennale. His projects have received support from numerous institutions, such as NSERC, SSHRC, MITACS, the Canadian Council for the Arts, and the European Community.
