About

Esdras Paravizo, PhD

I research the intersection of engineering design, creativity, and education — exploring how people learn to design, how games and simulations can support that learning, and how designers navigate and communicate the space of possible solutions. My work draws on design research, gamification and ergonomics and human factors across international research collaborations.
