Benay Gürsoy Toykoç s research and teaching focus is on computational making and material computation, craft theory, shape studies, basic design education, and cognitive studies of the design process.

1 Benay Gürsoy Toykoç s research and teaching focus is on computational making and material computation, craft theory, shape studies, basic design education, and cognitive studies of the design process. She has published and presented her research internationally and received awards in international conferences. Benay has lectured and taught workshops in several universities in Turkey, and United States. From 2010 to 2016, she taught first year design studios, geometry and design computing courses at Istanbul Bilgi University, Faculty of Architecture. She has also instituted undergraduate level elective courses including a course on hacking materials and production methods. Since Fall 2016, she is working as an Assistant Professor at Penn State University, Department of Architecture. Her current position includes teaching undergraduate level studios and courses, and advising graduate students. Benay has completed her PhD studies in Architectural Design Computing Program at Istanbul Technical University in June Her PhD thesis focuses on understanding how material manipulation in design can become an integral part of the computational design process. Her PhD dissertation has received Best PhD Dissertation Award from Istanbul Technical University, Graduate School of Science, Engineering and Technology.
