Lecturer in Architecture Construction and Technology at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM). MSc in Architecture, MSc in Bioclimatic Architecture in a Sustainable Environment, and International Ph.D in Architecture. She is the Director of the Master’s Program in Environment and Bioclimatic Architecture.

Her research focuses on energy poverty from the perspective of the right to habitability. In recent years, she has led several international and national projects linked to the impact of urban heat on housing thermal performance and the implementation of urban and building-scale solutions for population adaptation. She has coordinated the project COOLTORISE, the first European-funded project focused on summer energy poverty. She is also working as an expert with the Energy Poverty Advisory HUB from the European Commission for the implementation and development of energy poverty actions.

Dr. Andrius Jurelionis is a professor and the Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU). With over two decades of academic experience, he has authored more than 100 publications focusing on indoor environmenta engineering, energy performance of buildings, and the integration of digital technologies in construction. Dr. Jurelionis is dedicated to fostering industry-university partnerships, aiming to bridge the gap between academic research and practical applications in the built environment.

Dr Tiago Miguel Ferreira is a Senior Lecturer in Smart and Resilient Cities and Structures at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), UK, where he also serves as Programme Leader for the MSc Programme in Civil Engineering. Additionally, he is an Invited Associate Professor at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. His research focuses on the structural vulnerability of historical buildings and urban areas to natural and anthropogenic hazards, including earthquakes, fires, floods, and landslides. More recently, his work has expanded to explore the interactions between these hazards and their impacts on physical and social vulnerability, as well as the use of digital technologies to support decision-making and community engagement. Dr Ferreira has been listed among the top 2% of most influential scientists globally by Elsevier BV and Stanford University in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. He has contributed over 200 publications, including more than 90 research articles in leading international journals, and has been actively involved in 13 R&D projects with a total funding of over £10.9 million. In addition, he serves as a reviewer for various international funding bodies, is a member of ICOMOS-UK and ISCARSAH, and is an Editor-in-Chief of the journal GeoHazards. Currently, he coordinates a working group established under Sub-Commission 8 (Eurocode 8) of the Portuguese Technical Commission for Standardisation of Structural Eurocodes (CT115), which brings together universities, national and regional research institutes, and industry partners to work on the mechanical characterisation of masonry typologies in Portugal, intended for adoption in the future generation of the Portuguese Annex of Eurocode 8 – Part 3.
