I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft, and a member of the Design, Data and Society group. I also serve as the managing editor of The New Open (www.newopen.design), a research-in-conversation project exploring the topic of data and open society.

My research is centered around visualising data in (and for) architectural design.

I believe that data presented in visual formats can unify diverse perspectives and ground design decisions in real-world contexts. Data is a way to ground-truth conversation, imagination and action; a powerful tool for design. Computational visualisation technologies are advancing in immersive and multi-dimensional ways that show promise to better portray the nuanced, fine-scale, and dynamic data of buildings. The goal is to use these new technologies to visualise how people use environments, to design them better.

The themes that inspire my research include: data informed design practice, computational coding and experimental encoding, meaning and mark-making in digital media, trust and transparency through common knowledge and vision, visual data literacy, empathy and data representation, and data-inspired visions for future living.
