Jenny Sabin, a professor and chair of the new Department of Design Tech at Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, has been making significant contributions since her arrival at Cornell in 2011. She established a research and design lab on campus and also set up a client-based design studio in downtown Ithaca.
