What do you get when you bring together researchers who study graduate students and researchers who study design? Graduate students designing jack o' lanterns! 🎃👻 We had a great time this weekend carving pumpkins and enjoying fall desserts with our awesome friends at @ECRL_PSU!

Research isn't fun unless you have someone to enjoy it with! Thank you to our friends from @THREDgroup for hanging out and carving pumpkins with us this weekend! #HappyFall

Another ASME IDETC-CIE conference in the books! THRED graduate students presented their research on the topics of design cognition, design representations, design for additive manufacturing, and design education. #idetc2022

Aside from advising us on all of our research, our amazing advisor, Dr. Jessica Menold (@JessMenold) also chaired the Design Theory and Methodology committee this year. Thanks for all that you do!

We had a great time presenting our work, listening to the awesome work from other researchers, and connecting with folks in-person. We’re excited to continue and share our research, so keep an eye out for some upcoming publications!
Great work by our lab, awesome job @sandeepkrishk

Congrats to Sid Jhawar for defending his @PSUSEDTAPP MS thesis on thick developable mechanisms! Sid says he makes "cool mechanisms that can save the world" - you can't ask for a better summary than that. Also, shout out to Jared Butler for graduating his first student!

Congrats to Akash Agrawal for defending his @PSUsedtapp MS Thesis! His work on computationally efficient reinforcement learning for engineering design touches on machine learning, sustainability, manufacturing robots, and even vehicle design! Truly a pleasure to work with him.

Congratulations to Dr. Torsten Maier of @pennstateime for defending his thesis! He has built an understanding of how we interact with technologies like Alexa and Siri, and shown how critical trust is in that relationship. Its been a pleasure to advise him with @JessMenold!

Beyond proud of the *new* DR. MAHAN who successfully defended his kick-ass dissertation today! He proposed a new area of DfX exploring inspectability constraints for AM! I also totally forgot to snag a photo of him mid-defense, so enjoy this photo of us laughing at the end!

Break to bake: To beat “Zoom fatigue,” @THREDgroup faculty and student researchers found creative ways to remain engaged with one another during online lab meetings, including a virtual comfort food bake-off. ➡️ bit.ly/3vPMDWk.

Industrial engineering doctoral students Hannah Nolte and Sandeep Krishnakumar helped @THREDgroup members stay engaged in a world where the meaning of “interaction” suddenly shifted. Read how: bit.ly/3vPMDWk

The Britelab looks forward to joining and better serving our LGBTQ+ students to help create a more inclusive environment!
Chris McComb (he/him)@ccmccomb30 Apr 2021
It was an honor to work with Erin Hostetler and the Center for Engineering Outreach and Inclusion to create this network. We hope that all faculty in the college will join in this commitment to inclusivity!
