BIAYNA BOGOSIAN

Biayna Bogosian has been elected ACADIA President Elect for 2026, and will continue her leadership as President in 2027 and Vice President in 2028. After serving on the ACADIA Board of Directors since 2021, including roles as ACADIA 2021 Conference Co Chair and Chair of the ACADIA Steering Committee, this three year leadership track reflects her sustained contributions to architectural computing and the broader future of computational design research.

Biayna Bogosian is the PI of Immersive Robotics for All (IR4All), a new STEM initiative at Arizona State University's Media and Immersive eXperience (MIX) Center supported by an $88,883 grant from the APS Foundation. Beginning in 2026, the project will introduce about 100 Tempe Union high school juniors and seniors and 12 STEM teachers to industry relevant robotics skills using a browser based WebXR simulator together with classroom safe robotic arms at the MIX Center. Students will be able to earn no cost ASU microcredentials that document their skills, while teachers receive professional development, pacing guides, and safety checklists to implement the curriculum in their classrooms. The APS supported pilot will serve as a scalable model for accessible immersive robotics education across Arizona.

Balboa Park Alive! was featured on the ACM SIGGRAPH Blog for its mobile AR experience that helps families explore Balboa Park's biodiversity through playful, place based interaction. The feature highlights the project's focus on environmental learning, stewardship, and public engagement through accessible augmented reality. The project was also presented at the 2023 SIGGRAPH Appy Hour.
