Nina Wilson, PhD is an Assistant Professor at the Syracuse University School of Architecture, with over 15 years of experience in building technologies research and design. Wilson’s work questions the anthropocentric lensing of resilience in architecture through circular ecological framing of design, sustainable policy, and technology in buildings. With multi-year research awards exceeding $9 million in federal, state, and foundation funding, Wilson currently leads projects developing low-carbon material technologies, active building enclosure systems, deployable bioconstruction methods, and deep energy retrofit approaches for cold climates.

Wilson is Principal Investigator on the Net Zero Retrofit Living Lab, a research & demonstration project that develops low-carbon design approaches that integrate energy, human health, and life cycle criteria for affordable housing. Wilson advises PhD, Master of Science, Master of Architecture, and Bachelor of Architecture thesis students, and teaches sustainable building technology and design research courses at the Syracuse University School of Architecture. She operates her interdisciplinary research lab as a Faculty Research Fellow from the Syracuse Center of Excellence.
