My name is Diego Pinochet. I am an internationally awarded architect, computational design leader, and innovator. I have been a researcher and educator for over 15 years in the United States and Chile. Trained as an architect, I hold a Ph.D. and a Master of Science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Currently, I am a senior Computational Designer at Samsung Research America, where I am leading the integration of design and artificial intelligence to boost the future of product design and user experience.
In this website I present most of my work developed during the last 15 years, IT IS STILL A W.I.P.! I am slowly updating the website with more info about past and recent personal projects
