About

I am a lecturer and researcher specializing in participatory and deliberative planning and decision-making in relation to complex and and often contested socio-environmental challenges. I have an interdisciplinary background in architecture, urban design, urban planning, landscape planning and environmental governance. Throughout my career, I have conducted research, taught, and provided expert advice on planning and policy processes related to energy transition, urban renewal, sustainable community development, public space design, ecosystem services, and the promotion of sustainable lifestyles. I have worked across a diverse range of international contexts, with projects in Colombia, Spain, Sweden, India, South Africa, the UK, and the Netherlands. Additionally, I have extensive experience in designing and facilitating courses and workshops that foster collaboration among participants from diverse disciplines and cultural backgrounds to critically engage with and address complex socio-environmental challenges.
