With a PhD in Energy and Sustainability, I am an Indoor Climate Specialist dedicated to enhancing Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) through research and practical solutions. My expertise lies in optimizing air quality, thermal comfort, and acoustics to create healthier and more energy-efficient indoor spaces. My passion for sustainable indoor environments led me to contribute to the 3Sqair project, where I played a key role in monitoring indoor air quality and developing effective strategies to improve classroom environments. With extensive experience in IEQ assessments, sustainable design strategies, and data-driven solutions, I am committed to advancing health, comfort, and energy efficiency in built environments. As I complete my PhD, I look forward to applying my knowledge to drive innovative and sustainable building practices that prioritize environmental health and occupant well-being.
