Research

My research develops materiality as an active dimension of computational design alongside morphology and topology. When materials are treated as fixed, homogeneous inputs, performance is adjusted primarily through geometry and connectivity. Making material composition, distribution, and transitions designable expands this space: material variation can tune responses within a given geometry, generate form through differential behavior, and physically realize connections between members. I develop computational methods, fabrication systems, and physical experiments to investigate these possibilities, connecting local material decisions to structural behavior and architectural construction.
