Who am I?
I am a designer, planner, and researcher whose work meets the intersection of Architecture, Heritage Studies, Urban planning, Computer Science, and Digital Humanities. I have experience in the application of various participatory tools to reach inclusive and sustainable urban neighborhoods in smart cities. I focus on public participation through social media data analytics, living labs, serious gamification, and 3D visualization. Most recently, I developed an Artificial Intelligence model to reveal different stakeholder groups’ perceptions of the cultural significance of heritage properties to facilitate inclusive policy-making.
