Automated Finite Elements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)Finite element methods (FEMs) are a powerful and ubiquitous tool for solving engineering problems. Experimenting with different finite elements can improve the quality and efficiency of solutions. Furthermore, in some ... -
LumiModeling: A Gaussian Splatting-Based Tool for Recreating Dynamic Material and Lighting Interaction in Architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)This thesis presents LumiModeling, a real-time visualization tool based on Gaussian Splatting (GS) that simulates the dynamic interplay between materiality and lighting in architectural environments. While conventional ... -
Urban Data Memory: Using Generative AI to Structure and Visualize Zoning Data for Urban Planning Evaluation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)Urban planners face significant challenges in systematically and quantitatively evaluating past planning practices, stemming, among other reasons, from the scarcity of accessible structured data. The period from a plan’s ...
