About Alex

Alexander Pagano is a postdoc with the Siebel Center for Design's Assessment and Research Team at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His work introduces research-supported Human Centered Design and Engineering Design methods to undergraduate engineering students so that they may be better prepared to address unmet needs, solve 21st century problems, and close the technology gap. His research is focused on collaborative teams in early design phases, especially requirements development and the formation of a shared understanding of the problem. He enjoys tinkering in his workshop, designing mechatronic devices that mix tech and art.
