Dimensions Journal, Vol. 12 (forthcoming)
My co-authored essay with Otto Paans, “The Life of Architectural Forms,” is under review for publication in Dimensions, Vol. 12, exploring how architectural form operates as both epistemological tool and embodied knowledge.

CDRF 2025
7th International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication
I was honored to present (remotely) the paper “Architectural Transobjects – The Journey of Multi-Agent Intelligence,” co-authored with Otto Paans, as part of a vibrant exchange among leading researchers, academics, and practitioners at the forefront of computational design innovation.

Public Lecture Series
Project was explored a massing-model study of programmatic stacking. Volumes of program were arranged vertically considerate of access to natural light, view, traffic noise, private and public spaces.
I was invited to present the lecture “Cybermodeling—Reviving the Obulamu of Digital Design,” introducing a novel hybrid analogue-digital modeling methodology that employs smart-object technology. Rooted in the concept of spatiomateriality, this approach recognizes space and material as intrinsically connected at the molecular level.

Agathon Journal, Issue 16
My article “Embodied Computation and Spatiomateriality” co-authored with Otto Paans, appears in Agathon 16: Dealing with Complexity. It examines how cybermodeling engages spatial complexity through embodied analogue-digital processes.

CA2RE BELGRADE 2024: Dispositions
Community for Artistic and Architectural Research
University of Belgrade – Faculty of Architecture
I was honored to contribute to the discussion of design 'dispositions' at this biannual gathering of researchers, professors, students, and practitioners in architecture, design, and the arts. As part of the program, I presented my postdoctoral research development and served as a guest panelist reviewing ongoing design-driven doctoral projects.

Dimensions Journal, Vol. 6
My paper “Two Bodies” reflects on research in hybrid analogue-digital modeling, where sensor-fitted physical models animate digital matter. The paper explores how this interaction establishes architectural modeling as a non-verbal dialogue between maker and model, contributing to the issue’s theme of “making sense” through embodied making as a mode of architectural knowledge.

Workshop + Lecture
University of South Florida and Penn State University
I was pleased to lead two workshops entitled “Cybermodelling: Conversations with Non-Human Intelligence” at USF and PSU, introducing students and faculty to this hybrid analogue-digital methodology. These sessions also advance Cybermodeling as an emerging taxonomy of digital making, bridging material and computational processes in architectural design.

IASS 2024 Symposium: Redefining the Art of Structural Design
International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures - ETH Zurich
I was invited to present my paper “Cybermodeling—Computational Morphogenesis via ‘Smart’ Models” in the proceedings of the annual IASS symposium. While I was unable to present in person, the paper is included among contributions from leading international researchers in the field.

EAAE/ ARCC - Architecture into the Unknown
Aarhus School of Architecture
I was pleased to present my paper “Cybermodeling into the Computational Unknown” at the EAAE/ARCC 2024 International Conference. In response to the conference’s call to explore architecture’s evolving role in an uncertain future, the presentation included a live demonstration of Cybermodeling—physical avatars linked to computational design—which sparked valuable exchange with students and faculty from the international academic community.
Paper publication pending

RESEARCH COLLOQUIA
Berlin International University of Applied Sciences
I was invited to present my Cybermodeling research at the BIU Research Colloquium, a public forum hosted by the university’s Research Institute. The talk sparked valuable cross-disciplinary dialogue, particularly around how model-making can serve as a creative mode of philosophical inquiry. As discussed, “making-as-analysis” engages embodied intelligence to generate insights beyond conventional methods.

CA2RE VALENCIA 2024: Experimentation
Community for Artistic and Architectural Research
School of Architecture, Universitat Politècnica de València
It was my pleasure to join the biannual CA2RE events as a guest panelist, contributing to the review of design-driven doctoral research. This edition gathered an international community to explore ‘Experimentation’ as a method of knowledge creation in architecture and the arts.

CA2RE ZARGREB 2023: Intersections
Community for Artistic and Architectural Research
University of Zagreb Faculty of Architecture
I was invited to serve as a guest panelist and to present the ongoing development of my Cybermodeling research, continuing work begun during my doctorate. The conference, held in Zagreb under the theme ‘Intersections’, brought together an international group of researchers focused on design-driven approaches in architecture and the arts.

ACADIA 2023 - Habits of the Anthropocene
Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture
College of Architecture and Planning, University of Denver
I was honored to co-lead the “Hybrid Making” workshop at ACADIA 2023 with Augusto Gandia and online support from Andy Payne. The session explored how analogue, embodied processes can inform and reshape digital design culture. It was a privilege to contribute to ACADIA’s renowned international forum for innovation in computational architecture.

eCAADe RIS 2023 - Regenerating the City
Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), Estonia
I presented my paper “Physicalizing Digital Design Methodology” (online) at the 9th eCAADe Regional International Symposium. Held under the theme “Regenerating the City,” the event brought together regional and international experts to explore performance-driven and simulation-based computational design methods for sustainable urban environments.

MIT Workshop - Topographies of Light
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge
As co-leader of the MIT IAP workshop Topographies of Light, I collaborated with MIT postdoctoral researcher Augusto Gandia to explore data-physicalization as a design method for distributed lighting systems. Over four sessions, participants engaged with digital modeling, microelectronics, and natural materials to bridge physical and computational approaches in spatial design.

Doctoral Dissertation
Faculty of Design and Construction, Technical University of Berlin
My dissertation, “rabbithole to hybrid: Finding Digital Spatiomateriality Through Hybrid Modeling”, explores how sensor-embedded physical models can serve as interfaces to digital modeling environments. By linking spatial conditions and manual manipulations directly to digital matter, this hybrid process generates live, responsive media—what I term digital spatiomateriality.
