WORK AND RESEARCH
EXPERIENCES
Educated in architecture (BS and MS Politecnico di Milano), since 2006 I developed a research track, collaborating within the Urb&Com Lab.,
DAStU, PoliMI. I focused on trends, processes and impacts related with services, retail and leisure settlement. Between 2006 and 2009 I had
the opportunity to match academic researches and activities as technic consultant, supporting a set of Italian public bodies (Regione
Lombardia, Piemonte and Emila-Romagna, Prov. and Comune di Milano, etc.). In 2010, I started a PhD within the Instituto Universitario de
Urbanistica (IUU) de la Universidad de Valladolid (E), financed with a FPI UVa-Banco Santander Fellowship (2010-2014). During this period,
collaborating with my supervisor (Prof J.L. de las Rivas) and the research team of CASA-University College of London (UK), I elaborated a
personal approach to the advanced spatial analysis. I had the opportunity to test his approach studying real spaces within my PhD thesis and
several researches related with the activities of IUU. Also in this case, I interacted with several public actors -often working in multidisciplinary
teams- producing technical documents useful for decision-making processes.
Once completed my PhD, I achieved a position as Contract Professor in Urban Planning in Scuola Architettura, Urbanistica ed Ingegneria delle
Costruzioni of PoliMI and I relaunched my collaboration with DAStU department, working with Prof. A. Balducci, B. Bonfantini, P. Pucci, P.
Beria, L. Tamini, etc. Meanwhile, I was in charge to support the activities of several visiting professors during their stays (as Prof. A.
Madanipour, J. Knieling and D. Radovic) at PoliMI. In 2015-2016 I straightened my profile as consultant for public bodies and policy-makers,
promoting several proposals for EU actions and researches and supporting several decision-making processes.
Since April 2016, I was awarded as PostDoc PoliMI International Fellowship (2016-2018) and I focused on the research program entitled
“Clusters of central functions (or CCFs) as catalyst in post-metropolitan territories: comparing impacts of their dynamics in four European cityregions”. Moreover, I contribute to academic debate on alternative centralities with a solid approach based on quantitative methods and
original representations of space. At the same time, I support the innovation of approaches to spatial governance of public actors, at different
scales and in this field, I was involved in 2018/2019 in a research program entitled “La governance dei progetti di Città Metropolitana di Milano.
La costruzione di una rete di progetti e attori nella prospettiva di rigenerazione territoriale” (A governance for projects in Milan Metropolitan

Authority. Developing a network of actors and projects within the framework of territorial regeneration) as research fellow for DAStU- PoliMI.
Over these ten years, I produced several publications and organised various seminars and workshops to debate about the issue of regional
process of urbanization and current polycentric patterns within European cities. Through the contact with three excellent research clusters
(DAStU, IUU and CASA-UCL) the participation to more than 25 international conferences, the contact with international and national networks
and a set of EU actions and programs (I have been validated ad URBact expert in 2015), I developed an excellent academic profile, marked
by a strong transnational orientation.

Organizational/managerial skills
My education and my work experience have been developed in an environment of
knowledge interchange and of contamination between different professionals and cultures
of planning. My experiences as a researcher, professor, tutor and visiting scholar or
student, have offered me the training to be flexible and to interact, two prominent skills in

this kind of situation. Recently, I had developing several individual works and managing
teams with 4 or 5 people. These two different –but complementary- experiences bring me
in a different dimension of the work, where the figure of the “researcher” and the
“manager” co-exist and must walk together.
Computer skills
Good expertise with principal software (i.e. Office, Suite Adobe, Suite Autodesk and
Macromedia). I have a strong knowledge of AutoCAD and Esri ArcGIS
