Previously he was a research and reaching associate at the Department of Architectural Theory of the RWTH Aachen University (Germany). From 2018 to 2021, he was a postdoctoral researcher and adjunct professor (2019/20) at the Politecnico di Torino (Italy). He has contributed to numerous international research projects in the domains of architectural theory, urban and territorial design. In 2017, he completed his doctorate at the RWTH Aachen University in co-tutelle with Politecnico di Torino where his research was awarded the Doctoral Student Award in 2015.
