My research focuses on the application of digital technologies to architecture, the built environment and cultural heritage. Working at the intersection of reality capture, BIM-GIS integration, digital twins and spatial information systems, I investigate how geometric, thermal and semantic data can be transformed into actionable knowledge for building management, conservation and heritage documentation. This work has been developed through competitive research projects, international collaborations and several international research stays.
My publications include contributions to leading international journals in the fields of construction technology, building engineering, remote sensing and heritage documentation, including Energy & Buildings, Automation in Construction, Journal of Building Engineering, Remote Sensing and Frontiers in Built Environment, among others. Through this research, I aim to develop innovative digital workflows that bridge architectural practice, scientific research and the long-term preservation of built heritage.
