Professional info

I am a researcher with highly interdisciplinary background: graduated as a Civil/Environmental Engineer, I did M.Sc in Sanitary Engineering and Ph.D in Ecological Modeling. I have always been a part of multidisciplinary teams and have always been attracted to solving problems that require involvement of multiple disciplines. I have experience in basic and applied research, teaching and consultancy. My latest experience and interest goes in the field of sustainable solutions for urban and rural areas.
