Hello! My name is
Ticha pronounced "TEE-shuh"
and I am a creative technologist and PhD candidate in the HCI Engineering Group at MIT.

My research focuses on how to design, build, and evaluate expressive technologies that give people more creative agency over complex materials and processes. This can come in the form of support tools that democratize expert techniques for producing visual content, to low-cost methods for bringing interactive visual content into the physical world.

My work has been generously supported by the 2019 MIT Stata Family Presidential Fellowship and 2021 Siebel Scholars Award.

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