Student

Meredyth Yorek is a Doctorate of Design student at Louisiana State University (LSU), where she also earned her BFA in 2021, MBA in 2023, and Masters in Digital Media Arts and Engineering in 2024. Her research is at the intersection of digital twins and game design technologies, with a specialized focus on digital preservation. Meredyth’s work explores how techniques such as LiDAR, photogrammetry, and 3D modeling can be applied beyond gaming, particularly in the preservation and visualization of cultural heritage.

During her time with NASA, Meredyth contributed to the development of their digital twin, a project that honed her skills in advanced modeling technologies. She now applies this expertise to historical preservation projects, collaborating with the LSU Museum of Art to digitize their archives. Her work involves finding new ways to incorporate 3D modeling and game design into museum spaces, enhancing both curatorial practices and visitor engagement. Additionally, she reconstructs artifacts based on historical evidence, bringing them to life in digital formats to offer novel interactions with these invaluable objects.
