Biography
2019 - Bachelor's Degree in Environmental And Land Engineering at Politecnico di Torino. Thesis: Titolo della tesi: Valutazione Integrata di Impatto Ambientale e Sanitario (VIIAS).
2022 - Master's Degree in Environmental And Land Engineering (specialist pathway: climate change).Thesis: Experimental study on the influence of vegetation on urban canyon ventilation. To develop the thesis I spent a period of 10 months (September 2021 - June 2022) at the Ecole Centrale de Lyon, in France.
November, 1st I started a PhD in cotutelle between Dipartimento di Ingegneria per l'Ambiente, il Territorio e le Infrastrutture (DIATI), in Politecnico di Torino, and le Laboratoire de Mecanique des Fluides et d’Acoustique (LMFA), at Ecole Centrale de Lyon.
