Short CV
Matthew Campbell received his Bachelor of Science and his Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1995 and 1997 from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh. In 2000 he was awarded his Ph.D. degree also at Carnegie Mellon University (dissertation: The A-Design Invention Machine: A Means of Automating and Investigating Conceptual Design. Thesis Advisors: Prof. Jonathan Cagan, Prof. Kenneth Kotovsky). Campbell joined the Manufacturing and Design program of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Texas at Austin as Assistant Professor in that same year and founded the Automated Design Lab. From 2006-2013 he worked as an Associate Professor and William J. Murray Jr. Fellow at the Mechanical Engineering Department. In August 2013, Matthew Campbell has taken up the position of a Professor at the School of Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering of Oregon State University.

Research Interests
Campbell’s research seeks to establish new computer-based methods and design tools to further increase the efficiency and quality of engineering design. By combining engineering innovations with methods from computer science and cognitive psychology, he is able to develop automated tools capable of solving design problems independent of a user, as well as interactive tools that bring the user and the computer together as a symbiotic design team.
