My research focuses on design and construction management, with a specific emphasis on digital and sustainable process innovation. I actively collaborate with public administrations and construction SMEs on digital transformation through national and EU-funded projects, specifically targeting public works and building permit processes. Currently, I am a member of the Management Committee of the European Network for Digital Building Permits (EUnet4DBP), where the digitalisation of permitting remains a core focus of my investigation.
Previously, I served at the University of Brescia as a postdoctoral researcher (2019–2022) and as an Assistant Professor (2022–2025) specialising in BIM-enabled design and construction management. A licensed engineer, I hold a five-year Master of Science in Architectural Engineering and earned my PhD in Digital Innovation in Project Management from Politecnico di Milano (2015–2018). My doctoral research involved developing an original framework for integrating virtual reality systems into collaborative design management.
