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.

My research focuses expressive computational abstractions that extend how people create visual media. This can range from creativity support tools that democratize expert techniques for producing visual content, to low-cost methods for bringing interactive visual media into the physical world.

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