Research

My Current research investigates additive and fiber informed arrangements in wood components, ultra light timber structures, self-shaping deployable wood modules and light touch robotic solutions for onsite construction. I am an active research collaborator with the Tall Wood Design Institute and the College of Engineering at Oregon State University and part of the NSF Engines – Program: Advancing mass timber technologies

I am building a new lab at UO and currently looking for undergraduate research assistants to work on upcoming resarch projects and fabrication projects!  Interested candidates should email a short CV and summary of their work related to wood materials, digital design and or fabrication.
