My research portfolio extends to combustion science, renewable energy systems, and advanced energy technologies, complementing work on buildings and the built environment. As of early 2026, overall, I have been involved in the implementation of 46 competitive research projects, including both completed and ongoing projects, funded under European and national programmes. I have served as coordinator, principal investigator, scientific and technical manager, and researcher in projects addressing process engineering, energy performance of buildings, circularity, digitalisation, climate resilience, bio-based solutions, and policy support, in collaboration with universities, research organisations, and public authorities across Europe. It also includes experimental and computational studies on combustion processes, bioenergy, and solar energy systems, energy efficiency, and integrated energy solutions, addressing both fundamental mechanisms and applied challenges across the energy sector.​
