In 2017 we organized our first symposium and we invitedĀ David Wang from Washington State University. David Wang and Lynda Groat published the book Architectural Research Methods which has become a practical guide to research for architects and designers.

I am an architect with experience in design, building construction, teaching, and research. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD. in Architecture with a focus on architectural materials and computational design at Penn State with the support of a Fulbright-CAL Paraguay Scholarship. My PhD research explores technological methods and tools (from craft-based to digital design and fabrication) for up-cycling waste cardboard as a resource for low-cost housing construction. I am an enthusiastic traveler, amateur cook, and I love hiking and backpacking.
