I am an Integrated researcher at ISTAR-Information Sciences, Technologies and Architecture Research Center (Iscte) and Assistant Investigator (2021-2023), architect with a MSc. degree in Architecture (University of Ferrara, 2006), Built Conservation postgraduate degree (Roma3 University, 2007), Ph.D. degree in Architecture (Iscte, 2018). My areas of expertise include critical heritage studies, multiple-criteria decision analysis, sustainable heritage management, inclusive design, digital transformation. In 2007, I worked in the Regional Directorate for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism of Puglia (Bari). In 2008-2014 and 2018-2020, as project architect and team leader in international architecture competitions, preliminary and executive projects. My research was financed by FCT (Individual PhD Grant) in 2014; ISCTE (Awards for scholarly publications) in 2016, 2017, 2019, and by the National University of Ireland (COST traineeship grant) in 2014. I participated in international proposals for funding (1 National Agency, 3 EC), as a PL, member of the team, or science manager. I am Invited Professor at Iscte (2021-2022). I am the Supervisor of 10 MSc students in Architecture and 1 in MSc in Informatics and Management (2022-). I was Co-advisor of an MSc. student, Roma 3 University (2017). I was the co-organizer of the exposition on plantation heritage (roças in São Tomé e Príncipe) at the Library-Iscte (2022). I organized an international symposium (multiple one-day sessions): "Unforeseen paths: Transcending boundaries and sharing critical approaches to Architectural Heritage", where I was also moderator and speaker.
