The Sienko Research Group uses design ethnography techniques to co-creatively design and assess cost-effective technology solutions to healthcare challenges in low- and middle-income countries. Additionally, we conduct research on design methodologies and engineering education. For more information, visit the Sienko Research Group website.
The EDGE Lab, led by Dr. Julia Kramer, applies design to improve global equity and global health, and studies ways to improve how design is carried out and conducted. We aim to incorporate social, environmental, contextual, and historical factors into design processes, to investigate the impacts of design processes, and to engage with people and stakeholders throughout all phases of our research. For more information, visit the EDGE Lab website.
If you are interested in joining either lab as a graduate student research assistant, visit the Sienko Research Group or the EDGE Lab for more information.
Occasionally, our groups are able to support undergraduate students through the SURE, SROP, Marian Sarah Park Scholars Program, and other organizations. We will post these opportunities as they become available and encourage interested students to check back often.
