Person

John Gero is a Research Professor at the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study and at the Department of Computational Social Science, George Mason University and in Computer Science and Architecture at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte. Formerly he was Professor of Design Science and Co-Director of the Key Centre of Design Computing and Cognition, at the University of Sydney. He is the author or editor of 50 books and over 650 papers and book chapters in the fields of design science, design computing, artificial intelligence, computer-aided design, design cognition and cognitive science. He has been a Visiting Professor of Architecture, Civil Engineering, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Design and Computation or Mechanical Engineering at MIT, UC-Berkeley, UCLA, Columbia and CMU in the USA, at Strathclyde and Loughborough in the UK, at INSA-Lyon and Provence in France and at EPFL-Lausanne in Switzerland. His former doctoral students are professors in the USA, UK, Australia, Finland, India, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.

Current and recent research funding has been from the NSF (CMMI, CNS, EEC, IIS and SBE Programs), DARPA and NASA.

He has been the recipient of many excellence awards including the Harkness Fellowship, two Fulbright Fellowships, two SRC Fellowships and various named chairs. He is on the editorial boards of numerous journals related to design science, computer-aided design, artificial intelligence and knowledge engineering and is the chair of the international conference series Artificial Intelligence in Design, the conference series Design Computing and Cognition and the international conference series Computational and Cognitive Models of Creative Design.

Professor Gero is also an international consultant in the fields of design research, design cognition, computer-aided design, artificial intelligence in design and technology policy.



Wissenschaftliche Tätigkeit

Design Cognition

  • Cognitive studies of designing: protocol studies of designing; cognitive studies of design education, role of drawings in designing more
  • Cognitive neuroscience of designing: the behaviour of the brain while designing more


Design Computing

  • Computational models of creative design: evolutionary systems; analogy; emergence; situated agents, computational social science more
  • Evolutionary systems in design: genetic engineering; style emergence, complex evolution more


    • Evolutionary systems provide an interesting and useful model of search and optimization for designers. We have extended genetic algorithms by introducing the concepts of genetic engineering and by changing the evolutionary processes. This has had the effect of producing efficiencies in finding results. More interestingly it has allowed us to produce creative results, results that otherwise could not have been produced by any evolutionary system or other system.
    • Projects include:
      • genetic engineering extensions to genetic algorithms
      • novel crossover processes in genetic-related algorithms
      • evolution of the representation of style
      • evolution of creative designs
  • Ontologies: the development of the Function-Structure-Behaviour ontology and its application to designing, to designed objects and to designing processes more
  • Situated design computing: computation founded on situated cognition concepts that allows the acquisition and re-use of experience more
  • Visual representation and reasoning: emergence in design; shape representation; qualitative representations more
