HELLO!
My name’s
Ticha pronounced "TEE-shuh"
and I am a PhD candidate in the HCI Engineering Group at MIT. My research has been generously supported by the 2019 MIT Stata Family Presidential Fellowship and 2021 Siebel Scholars Award.

In my research, I consolidate my artistic and technical backgrounds to develop expressive creative systems. Currently, I investigate this through the lens of personal fabrication technologies, with a focus on end-to-end design tools and fabrication processes that produce dynamic physical media that responds to external stimuli. I am especially interested in understanding how artistic insight can inform the development of new creative technologies for both the digital and physical worlds.

Outside of research, I love to draw, play
music currently: piano, guitar, bass, ukulele, voice
(sometimes in a band), and sporadically compose!
