Anna Dyson
Anna Dyson is the Hines Professor of Sustainable Architectural Design at Yale, where she holds a joint appointment in the Schools of Architecture and Environment. As the founding Director of the Yale Center for Ecosystems in Architecture, she oversees research that pioneers new ways for buildings to manage energy, water, and materials.
Her work at Yale has led to a transformative PhD program in Architectural Sciences, acclaimed for its innovation by organizations like the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture and the US Green Building Council. Dyson’s research initiatives have attracted substantial funding and recognition from diverse sources including the National Science Foundation, US Department of Energy, and private foundations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
An innovator with multiple international patents, Dyson’s contributions to sustainable building systems have been recognized globally, including exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and awards from the American Institute of Architects. She co-founded the Center for Architecture, Science and Ecology in 2007, developing technologies like the Active Modular Phytoremediation System, which has been integrated into buildings like New York’s Public Safety Answering Center to produce clean air indoors.
Her leadership at the Yale CEA was pivotal in creating the Ecological Living Module, which was celebrated as a world-changing idea by the UN News in 2019.
