David Stasiuk, senior algorithm designer at Nike Innovation, in the NXT Advanced Studio, will be giving a lecture at the Computational Design: NEXT 6.0 conference. David is a researcher and designer living in Portland, OR. He received his Ph.D. from the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA), at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, where he focused on complex modeling for computational design in architecture. His research explored the integration of material behaviors into design and CNC fabrication through simulation, embedded data logic, and circular feedback loops. Professionally, he has worked as a consultant in advanced geometry and assembly systems for several architectural projects as a part of Proving Ground, as well as at his own design consultancy, Bespoke Geometry. He is currently working as a Senior Algorithm Designer at Nike Innovation, in the NXT Advanced Studio.
