Currently, I am advising industries on the strategic integration of automation and human-centered design, guided by a steadfast belief in the harmonization of forward-thinking interdisciplinary approaches and sustainable practices. I am eager to incorporate the insights gained from my explorative academic background and rich theoretical inquiries into my professional endeavors.With a BFA with a focus in 'computation, technology, and culture' from the Rhode Island School of Design, coupled with a MArch from the Yale School of Architecture, I have consistently navigated the intersection of design and engineering. My academic journey reached a pinnacle with collaborative endeavors with Yale CCAM and MIT, culminating in an experiential ZeroG flight alongside a diverse cohort of scientists and artists. This hands-on exploration of gravity's absence not only opened my eyes to new perspectives but also fostered a deep connection between experiential learning and research. Now grounded on earth, I dedicate my efforts to exploring the untapped potentials of robotics, venturing beyond traditional boundaries to include studies on the incorporation of age and mortality into mechanical constructs, with a recent focus on soft robotics.Parallel to my experimental work, I have pursued theoretical inquiries into the cosmic aspirations of humanity and the terrestrial remnants of space exploration. I am honored to have contributed as the editor of the "Atlas of Space Rocket Launch Sites," a monumental work developed in collaboration with authors Brian Harvey and Gurbir Singh. This project, which fructified in 2022, stands as a testament to a fruitful partnership initiated in 2019 with the launch of the "Architectural Guide to the Moon," a pioneering exploration of humanity's enduring mark on our lunar counterpart.
