Research Projects
Works connected to my research activities
Here is a list of the main research projects I have developed and participated in during my academic and applied research activity. Projects include work connected to design research, materials engineering, digital fabrication, circular economy, sustainability, open design, and application-oriented work.
Each of them shows my contribution at different stages, ranging from project conceptualization, research development, experimental work, theoretical framework, and dissemination, as well as project coordination, collaboration, writing, and reporting.
Legend
Main funded applicant or PI
I led the project and/or was responsible for its conception, funding application, coordination, and overall research direction.
Funded collaborator
I collaborated through funded research activities and may have been involved in specific tasks, e.g., project development, reporting, and/or grant preparation, without being the primary applicant.
Grant participant/collaborator
I contributed as a named researcher, with defined research responsibilities that may include reporting activities and contributions to grant writing.
Unfunded collaboration
I worked in research without direct project funding, where my contribution may range from a key role in shaping the collaboration to active participation in research activities.
