About

I am an economic and political geographer with over 20 years of experience in territorial and regional studies, with a strong focus on policy support. My expertise spans territorial analysis, territorial governance, and stakeholder engagement, with particular emphasis on assessing social acceptability and designing participatory processes. I have extensive experience working with interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research teams, applying tools such as living labs, focus groups, and other participatory methods. I am actively seeking research partnerships to co-develop impactful, policy-relevant knowledge in these areas. Recent projects I have been involved in include wetland restoration, natural area and tourism management, and strategies to mitigate urban heat islands.
