I am a PhD researcher at DART Lab, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Michigan, with research focus on large scale clay 3D printing. I hold a master of advanced interaction(MAI-2018) from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) followed  by a post graduate degree in Open Thesis Fabrication (OTF- 2019) also from IAAC where I worked as a computational design and robotic fabrication expert since the graduation till 2023 on an array of EU funded Projects and taught or co taught seminars and  workshops. Plenty of projects that I collaborated in during my time at IAAC were exhibited and won awards. Such as TOVA, Spain’s first 3D printed Clay house which won  the NEB PRIZES 2023, and  Obra del Año 2023 (Project of the Year) for ArchDaily in Spanish.
