Assistant Professor in Architecture | Tennessee State University

Researching and designing how buildings are made, measured, and transformed.

I connect architectural design, materials, digital environments, building performance, and community-centered research through my academic work, MADE Lab, and MADE Architecture.

Profile

A single home for academic work, design practice, and MADE initiatives.

This website is organized as a central professional identity: research, architectural works, teaching, publications, MADE Lab, MADE Architecture, and contact in one place. It keeps the academic, laboratory, and practice-facing parts of the work connected while letting each identity remain distinct.

Focus Materials, architecture, digital environments
Role Assistant Professor in Architecture
Platforms MADE Lab + MADE Architecture

MADE

Two connected platforms for a better built tomorrow.

MADE Lab and MADE Architecture distinguish the research and practice dimensions of my work while sharing one larger vision: knowledge, design, and a more sustainable built world.

Research

MADE Lab research areas shaped by buildings, data, materials, and lived experience.

MADE Lab frames research through materials, architecture, digital environments, sustainability, and the measurable transformation of the built environment.
