Dr. Claudia Trillo is an Associate Professor at the University of Salford affiliated with THINKlab, recognized internationally for her research in sustainable urban regeneration. With over £1.2M secured in research funding and leadership roles as Principal Investigator on major Horizon 2020 and AHRC projects, her work bridges academic rigor and practical urban solutions through high-profile consultancy and civil servant engagements.
Her research centers on innovation-driven and heritage-led approaches to urban regeneration, examining IT integration in spatial planning, housing policies, and cultural capital preservation. She investigates how sustainable tools can balance social equity, environmental resilience, and economic viability while maintaining local identity—evident in projects spanning European cities, India, and post-disaster contexts.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals strong interdisciplinary trends merging urban planning with digital technologies, cultural heritage, and community co-creation. Her work emphasizes comparative case studies (e.g., Boston, Naples, Belfast) to develop transferable frameworks for property-led regeneration, smart cities, and post-conflict reconstruction.
Her scientific recognition includes:
- Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
- Visiting Research Fellow at San Diego State University’s Institute of Innovative Governance
Trillo has led high-impact grants including MAPS LED (Horizon 2020, €1.5M) and IT-Living Platform (HEIF, £44K), demonstrating consistent success in competitive funding. Her portfolio spans EU frameworks, national research councils, and Italian ministry grants, focusing on practical applications for urban policymakers.
As a core member of THINKlab, she drives initiatives like the ENSEMBLE project for community-based social cohesion and MOBILISE Digital Solutions highlighted at COP29, positioning the lab at the forefront of climate-resilient urban innovation.
