Researcher, PhD in Biology (Cluj-Napoca, Romania) and MSc in Phytocenology (Romania and Italy). I taught Botany and Environmental Politics at Babes-Bolyai University (Romania). I am the project manager in CREAF in two H2020 projects on nature-based solutions: CLEARING HOUSE and CONEXUS. I also participated in Uforest (Erasmus+ project) and coordinated Green4children initiative in CREAF. At local level, I have been involved in various urban green planning projects, with particular interest for setting up the basis for the biomonitoring of environmental health using plants (i.e. urban gardens in Barcelona as a case study) and citizens science.

Interests: Nature-Based Solutions, Urban ecology, Green Infrastructure Planning, Education, Citizen Science, Planetary Health.
