Graduate Student
School of Architecture
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
110 8th Street
Troy, NY 12180
Alex was born in 1975 in New York City. He earned a B.A. in Mathematics and Visual Art from Yale University, (1997), an M.A. in Art Education from Teachers' College (2001), and an M.S. in Architectural Sciences from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (2009). He is currently working towards his PhD in Architectural Sciences and anticipates graduating in the winter of 2010.
He researches the construction of next generation computational engines for the simulation of acoustic wave propagation. Such efforts will provide designers of critical listening spaces greater expressive freedom in geometry and surface treatment while maintaining an optimal aural architecture.
