Jonathan Chapman is Professor and Director of Doctoral Studies at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Design. His research shapes future design paradigms for longer-lasting materials, products and user experiences - an approach he defines as 'emotionally durable design'. He has developed this research with over 100 global businesses and governmental bodies - from Sony, Puma, The Body Shop and Philips to the House of Lords and the United Nations - advancing the social and ecological relevance of their products, technologies and systems. Professor Chapman's work in sustainable design has generated international media attention from publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, The Independent, CNN International and BBC Radio 4. New Scientist described him as 'a mover and shaker' and a 'new breed of sustainable design thinker'.
