Federica Pascale

Federica Pascale serves as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Engineering and the Built Environment at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), Faculty of Science and Engineering. She teaches BSc (Hons) Architecture and Architectural Technology programmes while leading research on sustainable healthcare infrastructure.

Her academic credentials include:

• PhD in Architectural Technology, University of Naples 'Federico II' (2012)
• MSc in Structural and Geotechnical Engineering (First Class Honours), University of Naples 'Federico II'
• BSc in Civil Engineering (First Class Honours), University of Naples 'Federico II'

Her research pioneers sustainable and resilient health environments for vulnerable populations, examining dementia care infrastructure, emergency planning for mass casualty events, and climate-responsive design. She investigates how medical processes and social changes impact built environments through evidence-based methodologies.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals dominant themes in dementia-friendly design (40%), healthcare emergency management (30%), and resilience engineering (30%). Her work consistently bridges academic theory with policy implementation, notably through the Department of Health's Health Building Note 08-02.

Her scientific recognition includes:

• Emerald Literati Network Outstanding Paper Award (2017)
• Two Emerald Highly Commended Awards (2015, 2016)
• Enterprise Award for Health Building Note 08-02 (2015)

She has secured substantial research funding including Horizon 2020's €4.9M LIQUEFACT project and multiple Department of Health contracts totaling over £300,000. Her consultancy work directly informs healthcare facility design for operating rooms, intensive care units, and care homes across the UK.

She collaborates extensively with the Health and Care Infrastructure Research and Innovation Centre (HaCIRIC) consortium and contributes to international emergency planning frameworks through UK-Japan partnerships.
