Creative Mechanical Engineer
Spatial Sensing System Architect

Hanju is a London-based mechanical engineer and system architect investigating how varied forms of mechanical actuation can drive sensing into primal environments, spaces that precede human construction and fixed infrastructure. A graduate of the joint MA/MSc Innovation Design Engineering programme at Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art, he develops this research through EarthCode, a venture exploring spatial sensing systems for wide unstructured environments.
