Biography
In 2023, I began my research path with an initial research fellowship titled "Mapping and Characterization of Material Circularity Scenarios," focusing on the analysis of projects and case studies related to material circularity, upcycling technologies, and processes in architecture. I then continued with a second fellowship, "Circular Design: Research and Experimentation in the Architecture Sector," where I explored self-construction practices using construction site waste and by-products from agricultural supply chains.
In 2024, I was awarded a research grant for the project "Digitalization of Mountain Environments, Water Management, and Climate Change Resilience," collaborating with the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Ambiente, del Territorio e delle Infrastrutture (DIATI) at Politecnico di Torino. During the same period, I participated in multi-scale projects focused on the application and study of Nature-Based Solutions.
Alongside my research activities, I have been involved in teaching collaborations in various capacities within the Master’s Degree in Architecture for Sustainability and the Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture.
I also take part in scientific dissemination initiatives, such as “Biennale Tecnologia 2024” and “Notte dei ricercatori 2024”.
