Contributions to research projects

2025: SmartUrbanity: Enhancing accessibility, inclusivity, security, and navigability through a citizen-centric digital framework. SmartUrbanity aims to revolutionize urban planning by enhancing accessibility, inclusivity, security, and navigability through a citizen-centric digital framework. This initiative seeks to dismantle barriers to active, proximity-based living by integrating citizens into the planning process and facilitating the transformation into 15-minute cities. The proposed approach advances beyond models like GOAT and WeCount, using up-to-date granular data and sophisticated methodologies such as machine learning algorithms and agent-based simulations. https://www.smarturbanity.com
2024: Research Analysis Identifier System (RAISE): Providing mechanisms for a distributed crowd- sourced data processing system, moving from open data to data open for processing. RAISE aspires to build a trustful and transparent environment where research communities can share and process data as conveniently as possible in order to reduce time-to-result and increase productivity. With RAISE, the researchers can publish their outcomes with evidence-based authenticity of the data-analysis performed, ensuring at the same time accreditation of their work. https://raise-science.eu/
2020: Search and Rescue: Emerging technologies for early localization of entrapped victims and advanced wearables for risk assessment and first responders’ safety in SAR operations. The key objective of S&R is to develop and promote the underlying framework (interoperability among systems and equipment, training and awareness) so that responders at all levels of command have access, familiarize and evaluate innovative solutions. Through a series of large-scale pilot scenarios, this EU-funded Search and Rescue project designed, implemented, and tested a highly interoperable open architecture platform for first responders, including advanced front-end equipment systems and backend applications, improving the decision-making of first responders and providing a dynamic common operational picture of the crisis. https://search-and-rescue.eu
