I graduated in architecture from Iuav University of Venice, where I also obtained the doctorate in urbanism. I am currently an assistant professor in the faculty of architecture and the built environment of TU Delft in the department of urbanism, section of environmental technology and design

My academic work spans from the study of the territorial dimension of engineering infrastructures to the design of spatial interventions to adapt to climate change. I am interested in understanding and explaining how technology affects our society and shapes the places where we live.

I have been focusing on coastal areas and deltaic systems doing interdisciplinary research and design in relation to the water and flood protection infrastructure. Physical modeling, scenario making, ethnographic fieldworks, archival research and site-specific designs are the main tools, methodologies and outputs I support to scientifically develop climate adaptation projects.
