An Associate Professor based at MIT, Oxman pioneered the field of Material Ecology, which considers computation, fabrication, the environment, and the material inseparable dimensions of design. Oxman’s team operates at the intersection of computational design, digital fabrication, materials science and synthetic biology with applications across disciplines and scales. Her work is included in permanent collections at MoMA, SFMOMA, Centre Georges Pompidou, and The Smithsonian. Oxman’s innovations have received awards such as the Vilcek Prize in Design and recognition at the World Economic Forum and the White House.
