About
I am a researcher in the Creative Robotics group at Microsoft Research Cambridge, where I develop robotic technologies for data center operations. My background spans architecture, human-computer interaction, and digital fabrication. As an architect, I designed interactive pavilions and installations for international events such as Expos and the Olympics. This experience has given me a unique perspective on how emerging technologies shape our relationship with physical spaces and influence how we perceive the world.
Alongside my research, I have exhibited interactive installations that engage the public with intelligent technologies. More recently, I have focused on designing robots and machines, developing hardware and motion systems from the ground up.
I hold a PhD in Design Engineering from Imperial College London, focused on human-computer interaction and digital fabrication. An MA in Computational Arts from Goldsmiths, University of London, and a BSc in Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 1) from the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.
