Background
Focus on developing quantitative and data-driven methods that learn from real-world visual data to generate, predict, and simulate new or renewed built environments that place the human in the center. Goal is to create sustainable, inclusive, and adaptive built environments that can support our current and future physical and digital needs. Particularly interested in creating spaces that blend from 100% physical (real reality) to 100% digital (virtual reality) with the use of Mixed Reality.
