Research interests

I primarily focus on digital and sustainable transitions in the built environment, including Human-AI decision making, circular economy, digital twins, and more. My PhD research is centered on developing a Human-AI Deliberation system to help clients explore and deliberate on plausible circular strategies in the built environment. My work addresses key questions: How can AI bring the opinions of different stakeholders into the deliberation? How can we explore different strategic alternatives, along with their associated criteria and evidence? And how can AI facilitate deliberation towards more thoughtful and responsible circular strategies that incorporate different values in the transition towards a circular built environment?

I am part of the AiBLE Lab at TU Delft AI Labs, where I collaborate with Tong Wang and Paul Chan in Design and Construction Management, and Luciano Cavalcante Siebert in the Interactive Intelligence Group. Additionally, I actively contribute to AI educational projects at TU Delft.
