Hello! My name is
Ticha pronounced "TEE-shuh"
and I am a visual artist and 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.

Spanning visual arts, visual computing, computational fabrication, and human-computer interaction, my work investigates how to engineer expressive technologies: computational tools that yield new artifacts or interactions in atypical form factors. So far, I have developed creative technologies for advanced materials and complex perceptual phenomena. My doctoral thesis applies these ideas to manufacturing workflows for analog interfaces, which can respond to a range of external stimuli.

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