Mina Konaković Luković

Mina Konaković Luković is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT and a principal investigator at CSAIL, where she leads the Algorithmic Design Group. Her research spans computational design, computer graphics, 3D geometry processing, and machine learning for fabricating smart, adaptable materials and structures. She develops algorithms that bridge digital and physical worlds, enabling novel approaches to fabrication, deployable architecture, auxetic shells, multi-material systems, and automated experiment design. Before joining the MIT faculty, she was a Schmidt Science Postdoctoral Fellow at CSAIL in the Computational Fabrication Group under Prof. Wojciech Matusik. She completed her PhD at EPFL under Prof. Mark Pauly, where her dissertation received numerous distinctions including the Eurographics PhD Award, the Patrick Denantes Memorial Prize, and ACM SIGGRAPH Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Honorable Mention. Her MSc and BSc degrees are from the University of Belgrade. Konaković Luković’s work frequently appears in SIGGRAPH, NeurIPS, Science Advances, and top venues in computational geometry and fabrication, reflecting her commitment to advancing intelligent, data-driven methods for the design of real-world physical systems.
