Norman Shiau is a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University, under the guidance of Professor [[Jeremy Michalek]]. He is also a research member in the [[CMU_MUSES_Energy_Project | MUSES project]]. His primary research areas includes:  1) '''[[Design for Market Systems]]''': Use discrete choice model to predict consumer demand and optimize product design for profitability; 2) '''Game-Theoretic Method for Product Design under Market Competition''': Consider product as part of market competition and develop approaches to finding design solutions at market equilibrium; 3) '''Parametric Design for Green Vehicles''': Use vehicle performance simulator to construct of design [[meta-model]] [[hybrid electric vehicle]] (HEV), [[plug-in hybrid]] (PHEV) and [[alternative fuel vehicle]] (AFV) for design optimization;  and 4) '''Environmental Policy''': Study the combination effects of marketing demand, competition and public policy on product design decisions and the resulting environmental impacts.
