Erin Hunt is an Assistant Professor at Texas Tech University’s Huckabee College of Architecture, where she teaches design studios and seminars in computational design, digital fabrication, and robotics. Erin received the Texas Tech University Alumni Association New Faculty Award in the spring of 2023. Her research explores sustainable methods of architectural manufacturing, with current projects in clay-based 3D printing for evaporative cooling and reusable formwork, supported by the ARCC Research Incentive Award (2025) and the AISC Design-Build Award (2025). She integrates computational design, custom toolpath scripting, and environmental testing to advance climate-responsive and materially efficient construction systems. Her work on water-soluble 3D-printed formwork for concrete received the ACADIA Autodesk Emerging Research Award and the Peter Rice Prize for Structural Innovation in Architecture from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. She serves on the Board of Directors of ACADIA, where she is Membership Officer and Scholarships Committee Chair.
