I am an architect-scholar working at the intersection of computational design, design automation, and the climate-resilient built environment. Trained first in the design studio — B.Arch (NIT Trichy), licensed architect (Council of Architecture, India), M.S. and Ph.D. in Architecture (University of Pennsylvania) — I pair that design lineage with technology and executive leadership at the University of Florida’s College of Design, Construction & Planning, a five-discipline college serving 1,200+ students.
