Biography
As an engineer, researcher and teacher I am interested in the complexity of technical operations and interfaces in design projects that enable historic buildings to enrich their architectural values for present and future generations.
Research Interest
My research is strongly cross-disciplinary, bringing new insight to problems of other specialisms by combining engineering analysis, conservation theory and project-based enquiry approaches from my experience in an Architecture teaching environment. My main tools in these studies are structural analysis (experimental and numerical), architectural analysis through modelling, plus the assessment of historical and cultural evolution processes.
