University of Cyprus

Associate Professor at the Department of Architecture at UCY and Leader of the Society and Urban Form (SURF) research lab. Research interests aim to address the inherently complex relationship between spatial configuration and social phenomena, both methodologically and theoretically. Past and planned research focuses on addressing issues of evidence-based urban design, urban inclusion and accessibility to public space, and the ways the above are channeled to inform a transdisciplinary architectural pedagogy. Underpinning research work is a commitment to societal impact and a collaborative approach aiming to address societal challenges in close collaboration with society, stakeholders, government bodies, and policymakers. Currently the Project Coordinator of the Horizon Europe "Twinning Towards Research Excellence in Evidence-Based Urban Planning and Design", 2023-2026 and of the Erasmus+ KA2 project “Education in Living Labs: Participatory Skills for sustainable Urban Governance”, 2023-2026.
