Current Scientific Activity

Main research topics and activity:
Development and evaluation of digital tools for the acquisition and processing of information in the methods of analysis, modeling and spatial and perceptual representations applied to :

• architectural, urban and landscape analysis (geographic information systems, digital processing and image synthesis, image based-modeling/photogrammetry, statistical analysis and classification)
• urban energy assessment and adaptation to climate change (Urban Heat and Urban Cool Islands, microclimates, urban form optimization).
