Year

2023 - 2024



The M. S. in Health and Design focuses on providing students with knowledge and skillset to leverage novel fabrication technologies towards healthy and circular design results. As core faculty in the program, I led classes introducing circular processes as well as using computational tools to develop custom G-Code. Current ongoing research entails exploration of earth materials such as clay and geopolymers materials and how their material properties can be translated to different scales to promote health + wellbeing.
