I am a postdoctoral fellow in Hod Lipson's Creative Machines Lab at Columbia University's School of Engineering. My research focus is on digital cooking and food modeling. Food printing and laser cooking provides a software approach to food assembly and cooking, allowing for the creation of tailored, nutritious, inventive, and customized meals for each individual. One "killer app" for this tech is towards alt-meat production. It is in this area that I am working to improve the quality of plant-based meats by modeling real meats to better understand and replicate their structures.
Many of my projects and passions are showcased on this website. I enjoy being challenged and tackling problems that require innovative solutions that are cost-effective, designed with intent, and mechanically sound. Design, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship are assets that I apply in creating innovative products.
