I am an artist and engineer interested in the body as a material point of exchange. I am also a student and research assistant in the Responsive Environments Group at the MIT Media Lab, where I work on fusing wearable sensing with video.

Recent, representative artworks include Purée, an interactive human video collage that turns visitors into canvases for projected video clips; rainsuit, a personal, exo-plumbing system for rain; semblance, a large-scale photo compositing installation; and The Small Figure 3, a short piece for solo bassoon.

In the recent past, I worked on people-sensing as a post-graduate researcher at the Embedded Networks and Applications Lab at Yale University, supervised by Dr. Andreas Savvides. In a more distant past, I helped develop algorithms for feature extraction and analysis of butterfly wing patterns with Dr. Margarida Silveira at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Portugal.

I have an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from Yale University, where for my thesis work, supervised by Dr. Peter J. Kindlmann, I built DürerBot, a fully autonomous portrait-painting robot. Also at Yale, I studied composition with Dr. Michael Klingbeil and Dr. Kathryn Alexander.
