My doctoral research at TU Berlin (PEP, 2022) established Hybrid Modeling—later developed as Cybermodeling—as a methodology integrating physical models with computational systems to foster embodied, site-responsive design. By embedding microsensors in analogue models, physical matter functions as a ‘smart’ interface within digital workflows.
This framework positions models as animated, responsive systems that register environmental conditions, mediate between analogue and digital domains, and enable haptic access to computational design. Since completing the doctorate, I have advanced this work through independent postdoctoral research, workshops, and publications, situating Cybermodeling as both a pedagogical tool and a design research trajectory bridging architecture, computation, and material culture.h.
