With prior experience as a cabinetmaker and carpenter, Cory's research merges traditional woodworking technique with digital fabrication and CNC manufacturing processes.  He has a particular interest in furniture design as it serves as a condensed mode of design that encompasses scale, detailing, and the human body.  Other emerging digital tools such as parametrics and genAI have also found their way into his workflow.

Within the UO Interior Architecture curriculum, Cory teaches a variety of coursework including the Furniture Design studio, Interior Construction, Advanced Media, and the Working Drawings studio. A collection of student media work can be viewed at www.cshunbuilt.com which comprises two course deliveries focusing on the revisioning of the Case Study House program projects that were never fully realized.
