Ronit Eisenbach was trained at the Rhode Island School of Design, Bezalel Academy of Art and the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Prior to joining the Maryland faculty, Eisenbach was a tenured faculty member at the University of Detroit Mercy.  Eisenbach's creative and scholarly efforts are located at the intersection of art and architecture. Through the construction of temporary site-specific environments she explores how the perception of subjective, invisible and ephemeral objects affects understanding and experience of place.  Her installations and maps have been exhibited both here and abroad in venues such as the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Graham Foundation, the Cranbrook Art Museum, the Art Gallery of Windsor, Princeton University and the streets of Tel Aviv.  Her installation, Mom & Me, Me & Jonah was honored with an ACSA Faculty Design award, and Detroit 300: Fast Forward, Play Back, was recently recognized with an Honorable Mention by ID magazine.  Current projects include a co-authored book, Building Questions: Installations by Architects (with Dr. Sarah Bonnemaison) to be published by Princeton Architectural Press; "Placing Space," an inter-disciplinary inquiry, course and installation that explored relationships of space, place and movement with choreographers Dana Reitz and Bebe Miller.  She has received funding from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Center for Creative Research, The National Center for Smart Growth, the Great Lakes Fabricators and Erectors Association, and the University of Michigan Arts of Citizenship program.
