The Design Decisions Laboratory develops theories and tools to understand and assist decision-making in design and product development. The group is interested in the preferences and economics that drive design tradeoff decisions as well as the impact of those decisions on public and private stakeholders. Drawing upon research in economics, econometrics, marketing and public policy as well as engineering and design optimization, the lab pursues three primary thrust areas:
- Systems Optimization: Develop fundamental knowledge and new methods for multidisciplinary design and complex systems optimization;
- Market Modeling: Measure and model consumer choice in the marketplace to optimize engineering systems for profitability; and
- Environmental Policy: Study the effects of economics, competition and public policy on design decisions and the resulting environmental impact of those decisions.
