About me

I am Researcher at the University of Palermo, Department of Architecture. I am the Director of the Nanotechnologies and Innovative Materials Department of the Euro Mediterranean Institute for Science and Technology and Cluster Manager of the ECODOUS Production District which aggregates 70 companies in the green building and Renewable Energy sector in Sicily.

I am an Innovation Expert for the European Commission and Expert Evaluator of European projects for EASME in the Smart Cities, Circular Economy, Energy-saving/production, and KET sectors.

For more than 20 years, I have assisted companies in the innovation process (of product and/or process) that leads to the energy transition and Life cycle assessment. My path involved experimenting new materials with particular attention to their behaviour and durability in order to reduce the environmental impact over time. I coordinated more than 20 research projects in which I have always transferred sensitivity to the energy transition and the adoption of more environmentally friendly processes to partner companies, also assisting them in the market proposition due to my competence in innovation management.
