Dr. Nikolas Martelaro
Dr. Nikolas Martelaro is an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon's Human-Computer Interaction Institute. His lab focuses on augmenting designer's capabilities through new technology and design methods. His interest in developing new ways to support designers stems from an interest in creating interactive and intelligent products. He blends a background in product design methods, interaction design, human-robot interaction, and mechatronic engineering to build tools and methods that allow designers to understand people better and create more human-centered products. He has worked at the intersection of human-machine interaction in automated vehicles, the design of speech agents for music services, and the use of AI for engineering and industrial design practice. Before moving to the HCII, Nik was a researcher in the Digital Experiences group at the Accenture Technology Labs. He graduated with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford's Center for Design Research, where he was co-advised by Larry Leifer and Wendy Ju.
