Throughout my time at the University of Virginia, I worked on a variety of projects. I found myself most interested in applying cutting-edge technology to architectural documentation.
Follow the links above for an overview of what 3D scanning is and how it works, as well as how it shaped the central questions of my thesis. Individual projects, both scanning and not, are linked below.
