Siebel Center for Design at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. He conducts research that informs the design and implementation of curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development in order to facilitate the teaching and learning of Human- Centered Design (HCD) in formal and informal learning environments. His research interests focused on the role of the teacher in orchestrating collaborative problem solving activities in STEM classrooms.

doctorate in engineering education from Purdue University’s School of Engineering Education. Pre- viously, he received an M.S. in earth and planetary sciences studying geospatial imaging, and an M.S. in physics studying high-pressure, high-temperature FT-IR spectroscopy in heavy water, both from the University of California, Santa Cruz. He holds a B.S.E. in engineering physics with a concentration in electrical engineering from Case Western Reserve University. His academic interests include longitu- dinal analysis, visualization, semantics, team formation, gender issues, existential phenomenology, and lagomorph physiology.Dr. Paul Talaga, University of IndianapolisSuranga Dharmarathne, R.B.
