About me

My research sits at the intersection of the circular economy and the construction sector, exploring how co-design can turn the co-utilization of diverse waste streams into practical, scalable solutions. I am particularly interested in moving from “waste as a problem” to “waste as a resource” through collaborative design with industry and public stakeholders. I bring strong experience coordinating national and international R&I projects (including EU-funded initiatives), building multidisciplinary teams, and translating research results into implementable pathways—especially in cement-based and fibre-reinforced materials, recycled-content products, sustainability in construction, and standardisation-oriented work.
