During my time at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, I conducted original research into custom CNC machines, tangible interfaces, and mechanism design. I created ITP's online fabrication program -- website, video tutorials, and hardware documentation. I developed and taught graduate-level curriculum for traditional and digital fabrication, gantry robotics, engineering kinetic objects, and art toy design. Along the way, I have mentored scores of design students.
