About

I am a first year PhD student in the Ambient Intelligence Group at the MIT Media Lab. My work currently focuses on tools that allow average “non-technophile” users to “script the world”. At the very least, that was my Masters’s topic. Look for updates as my PhD work solidifies, though I am sure some vein of this work will persist.

I am deeply interested in intelligent materials and how to get them to be intelligent, which draws directly from the scriptability vision. I believe that we the technologists have hoarded the ability to dictate the behavioral face of the world too long. Innovation is no longer just done in labs and think tanks, and we have to accept this truth, incorporate it, and eventually… enhance it. As we create more intelligent materials, this should be an underlying principle.
