Career

edit

He had the opportunity to work with Frank Gehry at Gehry Partners, where he worked on the Guggenheim in Abu Dhabi. He then worked with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory before returning to work for Gehry on the Battersea Development and Gehry Residence. He then moved to Washington, DC where he worked for HKS Architects before moving to New York and joining SOM.[5][6]  While working at SOM in Manhattan he worked on several tall building projects, computational design, research and was responsible for building and establishing Space Architecture partnerships as a senior design architect and space architect. The Moon Village partnership with the European Space Agency and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was a collaboration that lasted several years and was exhibited at the Biennale Architettura in 2021.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

Organizations he worked with include, Gehry Partners, HKS, SOM, and Blue Origin. The projects he worked on include: Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Jiuzhou Bay Tower, Charenton Tower, Guiyang World Trade Center, Zhongtian Tower, and Hangzhou Wangchao Tower to mention a few.[13]
