Jonathan Cagan
From DDL Wiki
Professor Cagan's research focuses on the early design process. His interests span from computational tools and theories to product development practice. His computational work on design conceptualization and product layout emphasizes computational representation, generation, and optimizing search of the design space.
His other area of focus is in user-centered design and integrated product development practice. He works closely with colleagues in industrial design, business and psychology in creating new methods for product design that incorporate ethnographic approaches and cross-functional teams.
