Joe Manganelli is Part-Time Faculty in the User Experience Design program in the School of Information.  He is also a member of Kent State's Design Innovation Initiative.

His goal is improving the capacity of the built environment to enhance human cognitive and physical health, well-being, and performance.

Joe is the founder of xplr design, llc, a human factors research and design consultancy focused on human-systems-environment symbiosis. Joe is a Principal Architect with Fluor. Regarding research activity, he is a co-author of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's, Internet-of-Things-Enabled Smart-City Framework and completed a post-doctoral research fellowship studying distracted driving (phone GUIs) at CU-ICAR. More recently, he is involved in research projects related to human-centered cyber-physical systems, smart infrastructure and smart environment technology and strategy, and human-systems performance modeling. 

For the UXD program, Joe typically teaches courses on information architecture, accessibility evaluation and universal design, researching the user experience, and the portfolio course. 

Joe is a Certified Human Factors Professional (CHFP) with areas of focus on user experience research, requirements development and validation, information architecture, usability, and the cognitive performance and decision making and human-systems integration dimensions of human factors. He is also a licensed architect in the states of Georgia and South Carolina, focused on the design of commercial, institutional, industrial, and biotech/pharma facilities.
