Tim is a BASc Student at Queen\u2019s University, Faculty of Engineering. At the iStudio, he was exploring how e-textiles can make distant loved ones feel more connected through different tactile gestures. Tim is pursuing a Masters at Georgia Tech and is working as a Software Engineer at Bloomberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
