Biography
Biography / Description of Research:

I am a fully funded PhD student at ARCH_MAPP_School, focusing on integrating sustainable design principles with advanced analytical methods to address contemporary urban challenges. My research investigates the intersection of energy consumption and daylighting performance in building design, utilizing both rule-based and data-driven methods. Through this work, I aim to develop innovative approaches that enhance building performance while promoting sustainability.

Leveraging machine learning techniques and performance-based design data, I seek to uncover patterns and insights that inform decision-making in urban planning and architecture. My research combines rule-based models with data-driven approaches to create more adaptable, resilient, and energy-efficient built environments.

I have published several research papers in these areas, contributing to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable urban design. My work aims to support the development of cities that are not only environmentally responsible but also responsive to the needs of their inhabitants.
