About: I am an Associate Lecturer in Spatial Data Science at the UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis.
Training: I am a civil engineer by training, but my background ranges over several disciplines. At Politecnico di Milano I graduated in civil engineering and environmental science. Later, I did a MSc in structural engineering and finally, during my PhD, I specialised in software development for multi-objective spatial optimisation for sustainable infrastructure development.
Research interests: urban models study and development, geospatial science, mapping and GIS, strategic infrastructure systems resilience to natural (and human-made) disasters, spatial-interaction models of human and economic activities, spatial optimisation, smart cities, complex systems, networks.
