Through my life and research experiences, I've become fascinated with the question: how do we tap into our full potential? Specifically, I investigate "learning readiness", or the social, cognitive and neural features that predict academic motivation and learning success. I believe these clues will reveal the depths of an individual's potential to learn. And tracking the development of these features, as well as how they vary over time, across individuals from diverse backgrounds, and across

Woven fabrics derive their physical properties, and their potential uses, from the materials they’re made of and the structures in which they’re interlaced together. Operating within this binary – ingredients and recipe, “what” and “how” – we can radically change how a fabric looks, feels and behaves. Weaving, at its core an additive manufacturing process, has much in common with other fabrication methods: it’s receptive to many material inputs, capable of computer-controlled precision and yields
