Short Bio

My academic and professional background in architecture, urban design, environmental design, computational design, data science, spatial computing, and media arts has allowed me to move across and connect disciplines and different scales of design. It has also allowed me to understand innovation in design within a broader environmental context and explore data-driven and citizen-centric approaches to improve the built environment and the inhabitants’ lives. I am currently a doctoral candidate in the Interdisciplinary Media Arts and Practice (iMAP) program at the University of Southern California (USC). I hold a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University GSAPP (2010) and a Bachelor of Architecture from Woodbury University SoA (2008). My Ph.D. research focuses on the development of interactive and immersive urban environmental information representation media. My dissertation, entitled "Exploratory Environmental Interfaces," focuses on the socio-spatial and political dynamics of environmental pollutant monitoring and representation using readily available sensors and immersive representation methods. This ongoing research has been deployed in the cities of Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Princeton, Seoul, Shanghai, Mexico City, and Yerevan in various capacities. Complementary to my academic studies has been my teaching experience. Since 2011, I have had the pleasure of teaching at multiple high-ranking architecture schools, such as Columbia University GSAPP, Cornell University AAP, University of Southern California SoA, Tongji University CAUP, and Woodbury University SoA, amongst others. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Architectural Technology at Florida International University’s School of Architecture, Associate Program Director of FIU’s Robotics & Digital Fabrication Lab (RDF Lab), and Affiliated Faculty with FIU Institute of Environment, where my interdisciplinary research is supported by several NSF grants.
