Alex Granieri
Lecturer, Design Courses
BioPrior to joining the Design Group in the Mechanical Engineering Department, I spent almost 20 years in industry working primarily in the fields of Sustainable Mobility, Robotics and Consumer Electronics. From building prototype vehicles at Tesla to the original Alexa devices at Amazon and high altitude aircrafts along the way at Facebook, I’ve had the privilege to contribute to many “firsts” in my career. I am passionate about project-based learning and creating opportunities for students to be part of crafting their own educational journey.

Mark Granovetter
Joan B. Ford Professor, Emeritus
BioMark Granovetter's main interest is in the way people, social networks and social institutions interact and shape one another. He has written extensively on this subject, including his two most widely cited articles "The Strength of Weak Ties" (1973) and "Economic Action and Social Structure: The Problem of Embeddedness" (1985). In recent years, his focus has been on the social foundations of the economy, and he is working on a book entitled Society and Economy, to be published by Harvard University Press in two volumes. The first volume, Society and Economy: Framework and Principles,appeared in 2017. It is broadly theoretical, treating the role in the economy of social networks, norms, culture, trust, power, and social institutions. The second volume will use this framework to illuminate the study of such important topics as corruption, corporate governance, organizational form and the emergence of new industries such as the American electricity industry and the high-tech industry of Silicon Valley.
