About Me

I am a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab working on tangible computation.

Previous: Studied robotics engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, worked in a research laboratory at Harvard on 3D printing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have two reasons for couch-surfing:
The first is that I consider meeting new people to be one of the most important experiences in life, and perhaps the best kind of education. I love learning , and interacting with travelers with a broad range of experience and backgrounds is a great way to learn about the world and the people in it.

The second reason is that I'm an engineer, so I hate inefficiencies. I'm not using my couch, you need a place to sleep (or vice-versa) - it's an obvious solution. The sharing economy is amazing.
