Welcome
I am a post‐doctoral researcher at the Delft University of Technology, I focus on urban data science and sustainable energy solutions. My work explores the potential of open data and semantic 3D city models to enhance energy-related urban applications—from solar energy analysis to comprehensive evaluations of building energy performance. Leveraging machine learning and geospatial analysis, I harmonize and process heterogeneous large-scale datasets to enable more accurate urban building energy modelling. I have tackled key challenges, such as integrating diverse spatial and non‐spatial data sources and developing tools to link these data with energy simulation tools.

Research interests
My research interests focus on the integration and use of semantic 3D city models and open-access datasets, particularly for developing data models that enable structured data management. Currently, I am working on energy applications in the context of Urban Building Energy Modelling (UBEM). Topics I am interested in supervising or co-supervising as part of the MSc in Geomatics at TU Delft are listed here.Please, email me if you would like to discuss a different research topic.
