Biography

Geotechnical engineer and Ph.D. student interested in geothermal energy for heating and cooling to supply thermal loads of urban communities with the help of energy geostructures.
My research involves numerical modelling (at local and urban scale), field and laboratory tests and monitoring to study the THM behaviour of soils and rocks in the context of heat exchange and storage within the ground.
