Hey, I'm Alexander Htet Kyaw

I’m a researcher with a background in mixed reality, digital fabrication, robotics, biomaterials, deployable structures, digital twins, simulation, machine learning, and computer vision. He is interested in the integration of computation and emerging technology for human-machine collaboration in design, visualization, and fabrication.

Currently, I am pursuing a dual degree at MIT in Master of Science in Architectural Studies and Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
