Yale CEA Research + Innovation Lab

New Haven
Home to Yale faculty, postdoctoral scholars, Ph.D. researchers, visiting fellows, and collaborators, the Yale CEA Lab fosters cutting-edge research, experimentation, digital innovation, fabrication, and full-scale prototyping.

Together, we develop and test climate-responsive materials, regenerative building systems, and ecosystem-based solutions that bridge scientific discovery with real-world implementation.

The Lab supports a vertically integrated research and mentorship model spanning K–12, undergraduate, graduate, Ph.D., and postdoctoral work, alongside Yale faculty, visiting fellows, and collaborators. Researchers move between collaborative studio space, a fabrication lab, a wet lab featuring a WASP ceramic 3D printer and other equipment, and a 3D printing farm for rapid prototyping and testing novel materials, devices, and integrated systems for energy, water, air quality, health, and circular material economies. Full-scale prototypes connect controlled experimentation with building-scale implementation, accelerating the deployment of transformational scientific research by uniting lab experiments with real-world test sites: the Integrated Concentrating Solar Facade (ICSF), Active Modular Phytoremediation Systems (AMPS), the Solar Enclosure for Water Reuse (SEWR), a MoMA-featured mycelium wall.

The Yale CEA Research + Innovation Lab is an interdisciplinary hub where research, design, and technology converge to advance the future of the built environment.
