CMU’s Design PhD positions scholars to extend theory and methods in transition design, service design, and design for social innovation. Students might develop metrics for circular-economy UX, critique algorithmic bias in civic-tech interfaces, or co-design climate-adaptation services with marginalized communities. Teaching residencies and public-exhibition grants ensure wide dissemination of research outcomes.
