Matteo Del Giudice

Matteo Del Giudice is a Fixed-term Assistant Professor (RTD-A) at the Department of Structural, Geotechnical and Building Engineering (DISEG), Politecnico di Torino. He holds a Ph.D. in Innovation Technology for the Built Environment and has been actively engaged in research and teaching since 2009. He is a core member of the drawingTOthefuture research laboratory led by Prof. Anna Osello, focusing on BIM, digital twins, and virtual/augmented reality applications in architecture and urban development.

His research interests include Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital twin technologies, interoperability, smart cities, sustainable healthcare, facility management, and energy efficiency in buildings. He explores the integration of BIM with GIS and VR/AR to optimize data management for existing architectural heritage and supports climate neutrality goals through digital innovation. His work spans civil engineering, architectural design, and human-computer interaction, with applications in both public infrastructure and healthcare environments.

His recent publications highlight advancements in semantic HBIM for digital inclusion, BIM-digital twin integration for electrical systems, and cognitive digital twins for big data management. These works reflect a strong trend toward intelligent, data-driven building systems and decision support tools in urban and industrial contexts.
