Hi — I’m a PhD candidate in MIT’s Building Technology department working under Dr. Caitlin Mueller in the Digital Structures research group. I’m interested in a wide range of things, but largely identify as an applied computer scientist.

My research objective is to design and build agentic systems that can help engineers, architects, and other stakeholders navigate, optimize, and evolve the vast decision space of structural engineering. Under the status quo, it takes weeks to turn an architectural design into KPIs (cost, material quantity, embodied carbon impact). Our goal is to shorten that feedback loop, make it interactive, and improve the efficiency of the built environment by empowering stakeholders to make data-driven decisions about their structures.

The road so far:

• Master of Science in Computational Science + Engineering
• Master of Science in Building Technology
• Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Structural Mechanics and Design Track
• Bachelor of Science in Urban Studies + Planning
• Bachelor of Science in Architecture

The theses so far:

• MS: Structural analysis at scale: computational modeling of embodied carbon in complex floor layouts
• MEng: Generative Structural Design: An Algorithmic Approach to Synthesizing and Optimizing Steel Lateral Systems
• BS: Urban Scale Structural Modelling as a Tool for Reducing Embodied Carbon in Planning, Policymaking, and Design
