I am a licensed architect, researcher, educator and designer with over ten years of experience collaborating with engineers, scientists, historians, artists and fashion designers in the classrooms and through research. I investigate the materiality of digital processes, computation and construction, advanced fabrication processes and visualization techniques through emerging tools, tackling design problems both in research and academia. I am a David Lingle Faculty Fellow and Lecturer of Architecture at Iowa State University. Previously, I taught and conducted research as the Designer of Information Visualization and 3D Modeling at the Center for Research at Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar. I have lectured, exhibited, published and taught internationally. Among my recent award-winning projects is Mashrabiya 2.0 (with Doyle, Hunt and Senske) in computation, masonry design and construction, awarded by the International Masonry Institute (2018).
