Juan P. Hinestroza, a U.S. Fulbright Scholar and a PMP®, is the Rebecca Q. Morgan ’60 Professor of Fiber Science & Apparel Design, and directs The Textiles Nanotechnology Laboratory in the College of Human Ecology at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.   

Professor Hinestroza has extensive experience in a variety of research environments, including academia, the military, non-profit organizations, start-ups, and large corporations. He has worked in institutions across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and

I have three areas of expertise in teaching, involving three types of design literacies. These are visual literacy in design (DEA 1101), material literacy in design (DEA 2422) and ecological literacy in design (DEA 4220).

My research interests are related to the idea of "Nature inside" both in a theoretical and a practical sense. In the theoretical domain, I am interested in the aspects of material culture of the built environment that express a society's

Keith Evan Green is the Jean and Douglas McLean Professor of Human Centered Design and professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Green is also Graduate Field member in the PhD Programs of Information Science and Robotics. 

Green founded the field of architectural robotics—the practice of designing physical environments that act, think, and grow with their inhabitants. These environments support and augment us as we work, play, learn, roam, discover, create, connect

My work can be best described as comparative cognitive neuroscience, which is characterized by two related approaches. One is a cross-species approach, comparing rat models of the neurochemistry of attention and learning to humans, focusing on the neurochemical acetylcholine. The other is an across the lifespan approach, examining the cholinergic hypothesis of age-related changes in cognition.

We use activity mapping from fMRI data to provide theoretical models that can then be more fully tested

Dr. Fatma Baytar is an Associate Professor in the Department of Human Centered Design at Cornell University. Her research foci are two-fold. The first is on developing new computational tools and methods for achieving seamless digitalization of new product development in the apparel industry. The second is on educating current and future workforce on using 3D digital technologies. Dr. Baytar is cross-trained in textile engineering and apparel design, and has extensive research and teaching experiences

I am interested in development of morality across the lifespan. Every day, from infancy to old age, we encounter morally relevant events. We help or hurt another person, or we witness others who help or hurt, in both mundane and life-changing ways. As we develop, and enter new social situations, we encounter new rules for right and wrong behaviors. Religious texts spell out how to pray. Schools teach their students about how to use sources
