designer, entrepreneur, researcher, and educator with expertise in product development and small business management.\u00a0 As an Assistant Professor in the School of Industrial Design at Carleton University, Tim utilizes his practical skills, knowledge, and passion for design and business to explore the relationship between design and entrepreneurship, and how emerging design practices support innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Tim defines himself as a pracademic with active roles in both academia and professional practice.\u00a0 He is a small corporate business owner in the service industry managing many organizational aspects from daily operations to strategic planning.\u00a0 He is also a mentor and consultant for product design and entrepreneurship, working with students, inventors, and start-ups on different projects in various capacities.\u00a0 With this, Tim approaches his research initiatives from a practitioner\u2019s perspective with a focus on bridging practical and theoretical knowledge.\u00a0 A large part of his work is dedicated towards fostering industry partnerships, building professional relationships, and continuing to strengthen the links between research, academics, and professional practice.<\/p>\n<h2>Research<\/h2>\n<p>Tim\u2019s research interests revolve around design, entrepreneurship, and business, and the emerging design practices that support innovation.\u00a0 This includes topics such as design entrepreneurship, design thinking, business design, emerging technologies, design tools and methods, and intellectual property.\u00a0 Currently, Tim\u2019s focus is mainly on design entrepreneurship and emerging technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Within the topic of design entrepreneurship, Tim is working towards understanding the dynamics of venture start-ups and how design can play a critical role in the development of successful small businesses.\u00a0 He is also trying to understand what makes designers entrepreneurial and how to foster more designer-founders in support of innovation and economic development.<\/p>\n<p>Within the topic of emerging technologies, Tim is exploring the use of Extended Reality (XR) \u2013 including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Realty (MR) \u2013 within industrial design practice, and how these technologies can support product development through forms of collaboration, communication, prototyping, and testing.\u00a0 This includes understanding how professional designers are currently using these technologies, but also investigating new opportunities that will enhance the design process.\u00a0 Furthermore, Tim is exploring the development of new technology applications.\u00a0 This work is being done in collaboration with businesses and organizations who are innovating within their respective industries.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Research Projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 144px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr

24px;\">The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed Universities and Colleges to explore new ways of delivering education.\u00a0 One such strategy has been to implement the hybrid-flexible (HyFlex) teaching model which allows for simultaneous face-to-face and online instruction and learning.\u00a0 With the rapid rollout of HyFlex learning spaces, it quickly became evident that there is much room for improvement.\u00a0 This research project explores the pain points of HyFlex to identify opportunities for new design solutions.\u00a0 It investigates new technological interventions that will enhance the effectiveness of the HyFlex model, ultimately improving stakeholder experiences within the teaching and learning environment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%;
