About 

A highly motivated and skilled professional with a robust background in architectural design, algorithmic design, and robotic fabrication, graduated with a Master of Science in Design with a specialization in Robotic Fabrication and Algorithmic Design from the University of Pennsylvania, as well as a Master of Architectural Engineering, and a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering, I have developed my architectural design skillset for pushing the boundaries of creative design and fabrication, and successfully applied this diverse skillset to various architectural design projects including residentials, interiors, and offices mostly constructed and awarded in design competitions within more than 4 years of professional work experience.

Education 

University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, US, Masters, Master of Science in Design: Robotics and Autonomous Systems

The MSD-RAS aims to develop novel approaches to the design, manufacture, use, and life-cycle of architecture through creative engagement with robotics, material systems, and design-computation.
Students gain skills in advanced forms of robotic fabrication, simulation, and artificial intelligence, in order to develop methods for design that harness production or live adaption as a creative opportunity. Robotically manufactured architectural prototypes (part or whole) will be developed by students and presented and exhibited at the completion of the course.
