He was also the ACC Makerspace Coordinator, training students in electronics, computer programming, and digital fabrication.

His personal work centers around the exploration of imperceptibility in nature and natural phenomena through various creative processes including mechanical/kinetic design, robotics, generative systems, data sonification, and physical computing.
