Fall 2022 - In Progress | Principal Investigator
Appalachian State University, Department of Applied Design

Since July 2022, I have been exploring the integration of AI tools, particularly text-to-image generators (e.g., Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion), into design education and research. I have introduced these tools to some of my students, who have been able to use them to strengthen ideation in their design process. Also, I have explored these tools with my colleagues at the App DigiFab learning community, creating a collective digital installation showcased at the Transformations Exhibition at the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. This project intends to continue exploring AI's role in my teaching and research in design.
