01
Research Frame
NASA design research work with the Convergent Aeronautics Solutions division, focused on identifying new aviation opportunity spaces. The experience included healthcare and food-insecurity design efforts, 90+ stakeholder interviews, co-design sessions, synthesis, and opportunity-area mapping.
- Mission-facing problem space
- Human and system constraints
- Research-to-design translation
02
Design Methods
Show how qualitative research, synthesis, mapping, and prototyping helped make complex technical needs easier to understand.
- Stakeholder mapping
- Journey or system maps
- Concept generation
03
Engineering Context
Connect the design story to constraints like reliability, environment, operations, safety, or maintainability.
- Operational requirements
- Failure modes
- System-level tradeoffs
04
Deliverables
This slide can hold final diagrams, design principles, prototypes, or presentation outputs from the research work.
- Research synthesis
- Concept boards
- Final recommendations
05
Impact
The research translated interviews, site visits, trends, and co-design sessions into opportunity areas that could guide later benchmarking and concept development.
- Decision support
- Cross-disciplinary communication
- Future research path
