Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDominik Meier is a computer scientist and PhD student at Cornell Tech with 11 years of hands-on experience building applied software and fabrication tools that bridge digital design and physical making. His background spans academic research, teaching, and industry—having developed plugins and editors for 3D fabrication (TrussFab, TrussFormer, Kyub), coached interdisciplinary innovation projects, and worked briefly with BCG on applied problems. He combines systems engineering rigor from Hasso Plattner Institute with design-thinking practice from Stanford’s ME310 and HPI, enabling solutions that are both usable and buildable. Based in New York, he gravitates toward projects with tangible real-world impact and brings a curious, maker-oriented mindset—off-hours he channels rhythm and teamwork as a drummer and field hockey player.
