I am an architect specializing in healthcare and educational projects, with a long-standing interest in how the built environment shapes human perception, performance, and well-being. My work focuses on translating human needs - both physical and cognitive - into spatial strategies that support care, collaboration, and resilience. My research and professional curiosity extend into the integration of data, sensing technologies, and computational tools to create environments that respond to human conditions such as fatigue, stress, and workflow demands. This ongoing exploration informs my interest in smart environments, interactive systems, and technology-enabled design approaches that enhance both user experience and operational effectiveness.
