This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Paul Pangaro is an American designer, technologist, and educator known for his work in cybernetics, conversation theory, and human-computer interaction. He is the current president of American Society for Cybernetics (ASC) and was past trustee.[1] Pangaro has made significant contributions to the fields of interaction design and organizational strategy.
He is a Professor of Practice in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). Before that he was an Associate Professor and Chair of the MFA Interaction Design program at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit (2010–2015). He was also a lecturer at Stanford University (1988–2000). Besides academia, he had technology director roles at Idealab, London (2000–2001) and Sun Microsystems (1987–1997).
Early Life and Education
editPaul Pangaro was born in 1950 in Massachusetts, USA. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Humanities from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1972. Pangaro later earned his Ph.D. in Cybernetics from Brunel University in London, where he studied under Gordon Pask, a pioneer in cybernetics and conversation theory.[2][3][4]
Contributions to Cybernetics and Design
editPangaro has been a significant contributor to the field of cybernetics, particularly in its application to design and human-computer interaction. His work often focuses on the concept of "conversation" as a fundamental process for design, problem-solving, and organizational change.[5]
Some of his key ideas include:
- The application of cybernetic principles to interaction design[6]
- The use of conversation theory in designing digital systems and organizational processes[7]
- The concept of "designing for conversation" in user interfaces and experiences[8][9]
Pangaro's work has been influential in bridging the gap between cybernetics theory and practical applications in design and technology. He has been recognized for his contributions to the field:
- Served as the president of the American Society for Cybernetics (since 2021)
- Recipient of the Norbert Wiener Award for Cybernetics (2022)
