Bio:
SIGGRAPH 2023
I teach at UNC Asheville’s STEAM Studio, our 12,000 square foot making space where we emphasize human-centered design through the melding of art, computing, and engineering in projects with and for community partners. While my academic background is computer-science centric, since grad school I’ve taken a variety of art and machining classes. My graphics-related work has transitioned from writing computer vision applications for the Electrophysiology Lab at Duke Med School to creating data materializations with Courtney Starrett. After a 10-year stint in industry, I landed in academia, teaching classes in computer science and developing classes in new media at North Carolina’s public liberal arts college. I enjoy swimming and hiking – especially in the Blue Ridge Mountains and on the California Coastal Trail.
