Daniel Rosenberg Muñoz

Daniel Rosenberg Muñoz is an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Design, specializing in the integration of mindful awareness with interactive technology design. His work focuses on creating humane technologies that align with human values and ways of living.

Education:

• PhD in Design and Computation, MIT
• Master of Science in Design and Computation, MIT

Daniel's research intersects two domains: (1) studying human experience within design processes and (2) developing advanced hardware-software systems for tangible, spatial, and distributed interactions. His Mindful Experience Design (MxD) lab explores how computation can enhance physical-digital experiences rooted in community values.

MxD Projects:

• Mindful Vocabulary: Framework for articulating human experience in design
• Transformational Game: Co-creation methodology through prototype observation
• Spatial IoT: Prototyping distributed IoT systems in environments
• Present Materials: Computational craft materials for tangible interactions

Daniel's professional experience includes founding design consultancy Phantasma, leading Midnight Commercial as Head of Design, and teaching at NYU, RPI, and SVA. His courses emphasize designing technologies that address social and environmental challenges through the Environments track at CMU.
