About
Hello! My name is Hajin Kim-Tackowiak, and this is my online portfolio. I am currently a post-doctoral associate at MIT where I am a member of the Carstensen Group. I received a Bachelor’s in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a minor in Physical Computing at Carnegie Mellon University in 2019.
I have a passion for building things large and small, and love experimenting with ideas inside and outside of the computer! My current research interests are in formulating elegant computational design frameworks for real-world manufacturing. In my free time I like to knit, cook, and climb (all without injury).
Please feel free to contact me via email at hajink@mit.edu
Press:
MIT researchers developed a framework that folds a printer’s real-world limits into the optimization, while revealing that better hardware could sharply reduce material use.
New research enables computer designs to incorporate the limitations of 3D printers, to better control materials’ performance in aerospace, medical, and other applications.
