About

I hold an MSc in Urban Planning and Policy Design from Politecnico di Milano. During my degree, I completed two exchange programs at the University of Amsterdam (2023) and the University of Stavanger (2024).

I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture (KULT). My project explores how Norway’s electrification of land-based industries, power-intensive sectors, offshore petroleum sectors, transport, and cities is planned and contested. I trace how national policies and actor groups include these controversies in the decision-making process and how electrification projects negotiate the conflicts with land-use plans, biodiversity/heritage restrictions, grid capacity limits, and potential community opposition. Using perspectives from Science and Technology Studies (STS), I combine document analysis, interviews, and semi-ethnographic site observations with decision-oriented spatial analyses to make trade-offs visible. The goal is to turn contested issues into clear options and support electrification decisions that are fair, transparent, and practically doable.
