Research Interests: Her work critically examines architecture's intersection with agroecology and feminism, addressing climate change adaptation, resource scarcity, and digitalization in urban contexts. She pioneers methodologies for fragile territorial systems like deltas and engineered landscapes, emphasizing socio-ecological resilience and equitable spatial production.

Publications: Her scholarship spans territorial case studies (Red River Delta, Muscat/Oman, Belo Horizonte) and theoretical frameworks like 'The Fabric of Agroecology' for Zurich. Collectively, these works advocate for reimagining urbanization through ecological sensitivity and feminist spatial practices, moving beyond conventional planning paradigms.

Awards: No scientific awards documented in source material.

Professional Leadership: She directed major projects including Klybeckplus (Basel) and Lyon Confluence while at Diener & Diener Architekten (2015-2020), and previously collaborated with 51N4E Architects on Istanbul's 'IABR 2012' and Brussels' '2040' vision. Her teaching spans ETH Studio Basel, University of Neuchâtel, and guest critiques at ETH Zurich/EPFL.

Current Focus: As a freelance practitioner since 2020, she develops projects integrating architectural design with agroecological systems and feminist theory, directly confronting climate-driven urban challenges.
