Edoardo ChiarottiTeaching & PhD Courses Data Science & Causal Inference for Sustainability MGT-499 This class explores key climate questions through data. Students will learn to collect, clean, and analyze data, apply causal methods using Python, and communicate insights clearly. With a focus on sustainability, the course builds skills to avoid pitfalls and draw meaningful conclusions.
Raphaël Alain MunozTeaching & PhD Courses Artistic Practices - Interactivity HUM-322 The aim of this course is to design a video game in Unity in which walking is at the heart of the experience. Drawing on references, prototypes and the environmental narrative, students will create an immersive journey in which each step activates elements of the story.
Virginia LangVirginia started in the medical research field as a Coordinator of Research at the Clinical Research Unit Kennedy Institute of Johns Hopkins Medical Center. She was responsible for the initiation, coordination, and management and/or analysis of research projects in the Clinical Research Unit. These projects were funded by various Federal Government Agencies. Subsequent to Johns Hopkins Medical Center, Virginia entered the field of Human Factors through the doctoral program at SUNY Binghamton. Virginia held a fellowship at the Aeromedical Research Laboratory of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio and a fellowship at NASA. Her research dealt with cognitive factors that differentially affect the characteristics of visual displays. Applications of this research are directly related to various medical devices and software applications providing Medical Device Human Factors by HirLan clients with 30 years of Human Factors experience. In addition, Virginia has extensive experience in the areas of product design, Customer Centered Participatory Design processes, and product lifecycle management. She is also known in the Human Computer Interaction and Usability Communities for her innovative techniques for collecting and incorporating user/customer feedback throughout the product lifecycle. In July 2014, Virginia founded and established the HirLan Institute of Human Factors with labs in Carlsbad, California and a Consortium arrangement in London, UK. HirLan supports Top Ten pharma/medical device companies, as well as, start-ups with consulting and testing services. These services are in conjunction with their clients’ FDA 510(k) and CE mark applications. Virginia holds a PhD in Cognitive-Experimental Psychology from SUNY Binghamton, and a Master of Science (ABT) in Applied Technology, Systems Science from SUNY Binghamton.
Pedro Correa FernandezPedro Correa Fernández is a Doctoral Candidate in Architecture at Columbia GSAPP. Before joining GSAPP, he was an adjunct professor at the Architecture School of Universidad Católica de Chile where he taught seminars and lectures on architecture history and related epistemological, aesthetic, and political issues. His current work examines the mediations between technical knowledge, artisanal crafts, and global industrial capitalism in early nineteenth-century Latin America.Pedro holds an architecture degre

Andrea VezzosiAndrea Vezzosi is a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Ursula Rothlisberger at the Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, EPFL (Switzerland). He earned his Ph.D. in Physics and Nanosciences from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in 2024, where he investigated spin–orbit coupling and topological states in core–shell semiconductor nanowires. During his doctoral studies, he developed nwkp, an open-source Python library for computing the band structure of core–shell nanowires using
