Assistant Professor in Architecture | Tennessee State University

Architecture, housing research, and design methods for more resilient communities.

I connect architectural design, urban systems, computational workflows, and community-centered research to study how the built environment can better support people, places, and institutions.

Profile

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

This website is organized as a central professional identity: research, architectural works, teaching, publications, and contact in one place. It can later branch into a dedicated research lab or firm website when those identities need their own public presence.

Research

Research areas shaped by buildings, data, policy, and lived experience.

Replace these starter themes with your exact research agenda, grant titles, collaborators, datasets, and publications as the site matures.

01

Housing and Community Resilience

Research on housing systems, neighborhood conditions, affordability, adaptation, and equitable community development.

02

Computational Design Methods

Digital workflows for analyzing form, performance, urban data, and design alternatives across scales.

03

Architecture and Urban Technology

Applied research connecting built-environment knowledge with civic data, visualization, and decision support.

Works

Selected work can combine design projects, research outputs, and public scholarship.

Design

Architectural Design Portfolio

Studio, competition, professional, or speculative works.

Research

Housing and Urban Analysis

Maps, models, datasets, grant projects, and policy-facing outputs.

Public Scholarship

Community and Institutional Work

Workshops, outreach, public presentations, and partner collaborations.

Teaching

Teaching architecture as a research-rich design practice.

Studio

Design studios that connect spatial thinking with climate, housing, technology, and community context.

Methods

Courses and workshops on representation, computation, research methods, and architectural analysis.

Mentorship

Student research, portfolio development, competition guidance, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Writing + News

Publications, grants, and updates.

Use this area for selected publications, funded projects, conference presentations, talks, exhibitions, and short news updates.

Publication

Add publication title, journal or conference, year.

Grant

Add funded project, sponsor, role, and project period.

Talk

Add lecture, symposium, workshop, or public presentation.

Future Growth

One website now, clear paths for a future lab and practice later.

Research Lab

Start as a section; become a subsite when students, projects, and collaborators need a home.

Architecture Practice

Start as selected works; become a firm site when services, clients, and branding are ready.

Contact

For research collaboration, speaking, teaching, and design conversations.
