Dr. Sheryl Boyle is Director of the Carleton Sensory Architecture & Liminal Technology lab where she supervises immersive materials research and innovative design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) processes, including work in building components for prefabrication, biogenic materials, craft knowledge and construction systems that contribute to a circular economy. Her work brings processes of design together with materiality alongside both digital and manual fabrication in the sensory and experimental realm of research creation. Her recent research includes prefabrication technologies and assembly research with ABB Robotics, the Canadian Precast Prestressed Concrete Institute (formwork), an industry partnership with innovative new prefabricator in Calgary and 3D printing of prefab offsite assemblies. In 2024/25 her CSALT lab employs a team of 7 undergraduates, 4 graduate students and 1 PhD who are collaborating on various DfMA processes and materials.
