About

I am an architect and an Associate Professor at the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, UCL. I have extensive experience in a wide range of design typologies and scales, spanning product and interaction design to large-scale urban complexes, master plans, and rail projects. I have also tutored architectural design and technology at the Architectural Association (AA), the Bartlett School of Architecture, the École Spéciale d'Architecture (ESA), and Nottingham University.

Over the course of my professional career, I have worked with some of the world’s leading design and engineering practices—including Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, Heatherwick Studio, Herzog & de Meuron, Arup, and Bureau Happold—preparing competitions, developing proposals, and delivering projects in Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East.

After completing my Master of Architecture, which focused on biomimetics, I was invited to pursue an Engineering Doctorate in Virtual Environments at UCL, where I was awarded an EPSRC Scholarship. My research centres on understanding the social, economic, and cognitive aspects of collaborative design, and how this value creation process informs the application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies. Through multidisciplinary research involving ethnography, game theory, and human-computer interaction, I developed radically new models of this complex phenomenon, opening new avenues for further research and earning the Bartlett Doctorate Prize in 2014.

I am the founding director of Design Computation Ltd, a specialist consultancy based in London. There, I focus on the development and delivery of complex BIM, Digital Twins, IoT, and blockchain applications. More recently, I have been working with East West Rail and Network Rail on digital engineering, specifically in the development and delivery of multi-modal infrastructure digital twins. I am also a founding director of the Construction Blockchain Consortium and the initiator of the Design Computation Wiki, an open knowledge platform for computational design.
