■ Research Overview
|
Ira designs coordination systems — the platforms, models, and interfaces through which people, projects, and ideas connect across disciplines and institutions. His work spans software engineering, data architecture, urban systems, and organizational design, with a through-line of making complex systems legible and actionable. A representative outcome is the tangible interactive matrix (TIM), an integrated hardware and software platform that merges parametric, voxelized simulations with user-friendly tangible interfaces, now a platform for interdisciplinary research including the CityScope Project at the MIT Media Lab.
