Darla Lindberg’s research in architecture applies systems theory to explore complexity in built environments, considering behavioral, cultural, and environmental factors that impact health globally. Her main areas of focus include architecture building physics to identify variables affecting systems behavior, characterizing emergent systems to enhance resiliency, and applying game theory to critique creative architectural designs. Lindberg's work involves interdisciplinary collaborations with experts from fields such as biology, engineering, and public health. She co-founded the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics, which has garnered significant funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health to investigate policy challenges related to mobility and environmental change. Lindberg has also developed a graduate seminar on game theoretic principles in design, has served as the Stuckeman Chair of Design Innovation, and has received several awards for her teaching and research contributions during her tenure at Penn State until her retirement in 2025.
