Early Career meets Visiting Professor Jenny E. Sabin

We are very pleased to offer all early career researchers the opportunity to engage in an open experience exchange with our visiting Professor Jenny Sabin at the Status Seminar on Friday, November 17, 2023.

Jenny Sabin is visiting us from Cornell University, where she is the inaugural Chair for the new multicollege Department of Design Tech and the Arthur L. and Isabel B. Wiesenberger Professor in the area of design and emerging technologies in architecture. She is Principal of Jenny Sabin Studio, an experimental architectural design studio based in Ithaca, NY USA and director of the Sabin Design Lab at Cornell AAP, a hybrid research and design unit with specialization in computational design, data visualization, and digital fabrication.

Her work and research investigates the intersections of architecture and science, and applies insights and theories from biology and mathematics to the design of material structures. Sabin’s research probes the hybridization of algorithmic design techniques generated thru the analysis of biological design problems with experiments in fabrication and material construction. Sabin Design Lab, based at Cornell Architecture, is currently working on a new NSF URoL: EN funded project with emphasis upon responsive materials and building skins, morphogenesis, bio-inspired design, programmable matter, and adaptive architecture.
 
In this interdisciplinary seminar, Prof. Sabin will briefly present aspects of her work, but the focus will be on the questions and issues raised by you, the EC participants of this seminar. Each of you will give a three-minute presentation of your work (at the level you are at). You will have the opportunity to discuss topics related to your own doctoral or postdoctoral research with Prof. Sabin in an informal setting.
 
You can also discuss career issues, such as better understanding opportunities in the United States, and benefit from Professor Sabin's experience. This can also be a starting point for bilateral discussions at a later date.
 
Please consider questions that you would like to discuss with Prof. Sabin in advance.

We look forward to welcoming you!
