Employment 

Jenny Sabin Lab, New York, NY, US, Manager & Sr Researcher

Lead research in computational design, data analysis, and digital fabrication with an interdisciplinary approach.
• Thesis research: Developed and engineered a computational design process for responsive structures inspired by heart tissue
biomechanics. Created adaptive 3D-printed structures using homemade toolpaths, customized G-code, 4D printing, and additive manufacturing. Executed with Rhino3D and Grasshopper, utilizing cellulose-based filaments, PLA and TPU these bioinspired geometries can achieve complex, environmentally responsive deformation.
• Research at the Butcher Lab (Biomedical engineering Lab Cornell university): This study integrates biomedical engineering
with architecture to analyze chicken heart tissue using advanced technologies, creating a framework for understanding
cellular dynamics and the impact of architectural technology in biomedical research.
