What I really got from studying at IAAC was approaching materials and fabrication in a radically different manner. The breadth of teaching, from hands-on experimentation to forward-thinking theory, nurtured my curiosity in working with living processes, laying the foundation for my career in research bridging design, biology, and material innovation.
