Bhuvana Nanaiah
About
I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Architecture and Planning, researching the role of heritage in post-industrial landscapes as a capacity asset for climate-based urban regeneration. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from India, after which I practised as an architect for three years before moving to Trondheim to pursue a Master's in Urban Ecological Planning. Following graduation, I worked as a Research Assistant at the department before commencing my PhD in September 2024. Alongside my research, I am also involved in teaching activities at the department.
