Researching Product Design and Development (pdd)
aim
The aim is to set up a group of researchers who share the interest of researching topics within the product design and development sphere. Ultimately, the purpose is to create a communicative space for MIT design researchers that allows the exchange of ideas, best practices and methodology approaches as well as simply testing one's ideas amongst peers.
lunch time seminars
Each week, researcher will present new or ongoing research for about 30 min, followed by a discussion and some idea sharing.
origin
The core group of pdd is comprised of the 4th floor design researchers (building 3) from the labs of Maria Yang, Dan Frey, Warren Seering, Alex Slocum and David Wallace.
