💡 About
I'm an Associate Professor in Computer Science. I research Design Thinking, Data Visualization and HCI. Recently, I have been exploring how AI impacts the engineering and architecture design processes, the carbon foot print of croissants and how with parametric design it can be reduced. In the lab, we also work on how to enhance space suits. Follow the lab's insta for pics!
