Giuseppe Peronato, PhD
Biography
I am a building and urban scientist with a 10-year experience in research, consulting, and software development. My expertise is at the intersection of building technology, energy (geo)informatics, and urban planning. I am keen on working on projects with a strong data component and aimed at a sustainable and decarbonized society.
In my free time I like reading news, painting, cooking and hacking. I also enyoy spending time outdoors, hiking, cycling and bike-packing, cross-country skiing and ski touring.
