Profile
Biography
Francesca Abastante studies Architecture in Italy (PoliTO). In April 2013, she holds a Ph.D. in Regional and Urban Studies with the thesis named “The role of the Multicriteria Decision Analyses in decision processes for territorial transformation” after 3 years of research. She is currently Assistant Professor (RTDb) with the InterUniversity Department of Regional and Urban Studies and Planning (DIST) at the PoliTO. She is a research member of the department research project project QUICHE based on the assessment of SDG11 and of the European projects SCORE (2018/2021) and MOLOC (subcontractor 2018-2020). Moreover, she is an active member of the ERASMUS+ project LOTUS (2019-2022). Her present research focuses on studies related to Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and decision processes in territorial projects with the attention to environmental and social sustainability. Her skills are particularly related to the research aimed at integrating MCDA, financial analysis and visual tools to support real-time decision processes. She has been scientific responsible of different national projects as BIG/OPEN DATA AND SPATIAL ANALYTICS, CHIOMONTE 2025 and CHIOMONTE SMART as well as a research member of several European projects as CODE24 (2010-2013), DIMMER (2013-2017) and SHAPE ENERGY (2017/2019). Moreover, she has been an active co-operator of the “Housing Program” for the Compagnia di San Paolo (CSP - programmahousing.it) focusing on social and energy sustainability aspects with the aim of answering to the growing housing demand. She is co-author of numerous scientific papers.
