I am a Senior Scientist in Environmental Science with expertise in Nature-based Solutions (NbS), urban ecosystems, air quality, and sustainable development. I’m seeking to join a consortium focused on NbS, biodiversity, and transformative change.
I bring extensive experience in NbS monitoring and imapct assessment, citizen science, and interdisciplinary research spanning ecology, climate adaptation, and health. I lead and contribute to major EU and international projects (e.g., NatureScape, healthRiskADAPT, MASSEV/GRC), with a strong record in project coordination, proposal writing, and stakeholder engagement.
I am particularly interested in proposals exploring NbS trade-offs, community co-benefits, and nature-inclusive urban transitions. I can support consortia as a WP lead on NbS co-design, participatory methods, and science-policy integration. I also offer access to citizen-driven monitoring tools and urban environmental datasets, and the ability to translate scientific findings into policy-relevant insights.
Looking to contribute to high-impact projects combining biodiversity protection, societal engagement, and sustainable urban transformation.
