Join us for another semester of Design Field Notes—an ongoing lecture series part of our course DES INV 95. This speaker series invites a dynamic group of designers, artists, and academics in design-related fields to share their work and practice with our students and public. This event series will be held on Zoom, and is free and open to the public. A Zoom account is required for login and access to this series. Nicole Panditi is an engineer, researcher and earth-geek based in Berkeley, California. She has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Sustainability from UC Berkeley. Her areas of expertise are plastics, fabrication, product design and prototyping, and sustainability analysis. For fun she likes to hug armfuls of 3D printing plastic and pretend they are hugging back. She has published research on lattice behavior in the journal of Composite Structures. She has given talks at Harvard, City College of San Francisco, and UC Berkeley about campus recycling infrastructures and 3D printing.
