My work is broadly concerned with the question {\it How can designs be synthesized computationally?} The project deals primarily with mechanical devices and focuses on {\it pre-parametric design}: design at the level of detail of a blackboard sketch rather than at the level of detail of an engineering drawing. I explore the project ideas in the domain of single- input single-output dynamic systems, like pressure gauges, accelerometers, and pneumatic cylinders. The problem solution consists of two steps: 1) generate a schematic description of the device in terms of idealized functional elements, and then 2) from the schematic description generate a physical description.
