Biography
MSc in Architecture for Sustainable Design in 2021 from Politecnico di Torino and BSc in Science of Architecture in 2017 from Politecnico di Milano.
MSc thesis focused on ultra-lightweight extrudable foamed concrete to apply in 3D Concrete Printing to produce innovative and energy-efficient building components.
PhD thesis focuses on the employment of multi-density foamed concrete to produce highly-optimized multi-functional engineered building components that can be manufactured by 3D Concrete Printing processes and can satisfy multiple performance requirements (high mechanical performance and excellent thermal insulation) in a single cementitious matrix element, thus avoiding the need for the assembly of several monofunctional materials.
