Formally trained as an architect, he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Architecture (2020) and a Master of Architecture (2022) from South Dakota State University. He further specialized in digital fabrication and computational design, completing a Master of Advanced Studies in Architecture and Digital Fabrication at ETH Zurich in 2023. Following his studies at ETH Zurich, Joseph worked as a Research Assistant at Gramazio Kohler Research, where he co-authored COMPAS XR, an Augmented Reality application for multi-user collaboration in human-robotic assembly processes. This application focused on developing real-time data transfer methods, integrating an AR interface with a CAD interface to support active building workflows. Joseph’s professional experience also includes architectural internships across the Greater Midwest from 2019 to 2022, where he honed his skills in architectural design and project development. His current research explores computational and robotic approaches to enhance design and construction processes, emphasizing collaborative workflows between humans and machines.
