Nicole Bakker

Nicole is a structural engineer from the Netherlands whose book on the integration of photovoltaics in historical built environments led to government-funded research to provide visions and a framework for policy that is now implemented. For her final MDE project, she combined biology, engineering, and design to study bio-based building materials. Currently, she is a research assistant at the Community Biotechnology Initiative in the MIT Media Lab, and is continuing her education in the Master in Media Arts and Sciences at MIT.
