Giuseppina Emma Puglisi

Giuseppina Emma Puglisi is an external lecturer at the Department of Energy (DENERG) of Politecnico di Torino, specializing in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of acoustics, environmental engineering, and medical technologies. Her work focuses on speech intelligibility in complex acoustic environments, particularly for cochlear implant users, and the development of multi-sensor systems for monitoring indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in university and office settings.

• Research Themes: Classroom acoustics, virtual reality for auditory testing, face mask noise effects, climate-responsive architecture.
• Leadership: Participated in organizing committees for major acoustics conferences like Forum Acusticum 2023 and serves as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Built Environment.

Her recent publications validate virtual reality tools for acoustic assessment and explore cross-linguistic soundscape descriptors. Awards include the Best Paper Award (European Acoustics Association, 2021) and grants for young researchers. She supervises PhD students Virginia Isabella Fissore and Angela Guastamacchia in projects related to IEQ and clinical acoustics.
