His research spans Digital Manufacturing , Open Source Design , and Networked Collaboration , with emphasis on sustainable innovation through peer production systems. He explores how maker communities develop business models that balance economic viability with social equity, particularly in educational contexts like sustainability-oriented Living Labs where hands-on fabrication drives experiential learning. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a clear trajectory toward equity-focused digital fabrication and responsible self-production economies . His work increasingly integrates socio-technical perspectives, examining how FabLabs function as boundary objects between academic research, community practice, and industrial innovation while addressing challenges in maker education and knowledge sharing. No verifiable information regarding academic advising relationships or research grants is available in the source materials. Professor Troxler maintains deep operational ties to the FabLab at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, which functions as both a research site for longitudinal studies on maker education and a community hub for open-design experimentation. This facility exemplifies his conceptual framework where physical fabrication spaces become catalysts for socio-technical innovation through structured chaos in maker coaching and collaborative knowledge production.
