We focus on transforming rural and urban systems with smart technologies—especially in agriculture, sustainability, and environmental monitoring.

🔬 As a key partner in CLIMANEMU (Climate Neutral Municipality), I’m driving the digital backbone of the project. Our role includes:

  • Designing machine learning algorithms for carbon balance modeling

  • Harmonizing fragmented land use and sensor data

  • Developing GIS-integrated digital tools to support municipal decarbonization planning

  • Creating scalable prototypes aligned with EU climate neutrality goals, the Green Deal, and Mission 100 Climate-Neutral Cities

📍 I’ll be at the Horizon Europe Brokerage Event (Cluster 6 – Calls 2025) in Warsaw, May 27, 2025, and am actively seeking partnerships for consortia exploring innovations in:

  • Precision agriculture

  • AI-enabled environmental data processing
