Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDeanna Gelosi is a PhD candidate and graduate research assistant at CU Boulder's ATLAS Institute with eight years of experience at the intersection of creative technology, digital fabrication, and informal STEM education. She researches creativity support tools and computational approaches to traditional craft through the Unstable Design Lab, developing software and workflows for material-driven making such as clay 3D printing. Her background spans museum R&D at the Exploratorium, curriculum design for physical computing at UC Berkeley, and industry research in computational fabrication with Accenture, giving her a rare blend of pedagogical insight and technical rigor. Deanna frequently bridges research and public-facing experiences, translating lab prototypes into hands-on activities and learning environments. She holds an MS in Computer Science and is pursuing a PhD in Creative Technology and Design, combining human-centered research with engineering practice. A detail that sets her apart is sustained work integrating craft traditions with computation—often prototyping bespoke tooling and software to make analogue techniques amenable to digital fabrication.
