Thermal Imaging in Building Diagnostics: A Systematic Review of Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Thermal imaging, or infrared thermography, has become an indispensable tool in the building sector for non-invasive energy efficiency assessments, particularly for detecting heat loss, thermal bridging, and insulation defects. This paper presents a s... Read More about Thermal Imaging in Building Diagnostics: A Systematic Review of Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities.

Comparison of Deep Learning and Psychoacoustic Models to Predict UAV Noise Impact in Soundscapes (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

* The increasing prevalence of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in urban environments necessitates a deeper understanding of their impact on the experience of urban soundscapes. This study presents Machine Learning models aimed at predicting perceived annoy... Read More about Comparison of Deep Learning and Psychoacoustic Models to Predict UAV Noise Impact in Soundscapes.

Integrated U-space societal acceptance assessment: energy-based and perception-based acoustic metrics. (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) systems are progressing within the European U-space framework to promote efficient and environmentally friendly air transport. The ImAFUSA project contributes by developing an integrated U-space assessment tool to evalua...

On-field measurements following the EASA guidelines on noise measurements of unmanned aircraft systems lighter that 600 kg (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have gained increasing attention, leading to the development of noise measurement protocols, such as the 2023 guidelines from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). These guidelines focus on noise measuremen... Read More about On-field measurements following the EASA guidelines on noise measurements of unmanned aircraft systems lighter that 600 kg.

The effects of time-variant characteristics of unmanned aircraft system noise on reported annoyance (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Flight missions of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are inherently unsteady due to the complex interactions between the environment (e.g., wind conditions) and the operative flight control system. These interactions result in the unsteadiness of the a... Read More about The effects of time-variant characteristics of unmanned aircraft system noise on reported annoyance.

Empowering SMEs Through XR Technologies: Bridging Expertise Gaps and Promoting Sustainable Development (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents three XR (Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality) case studies that showcased knowledge transfer between Academia and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Developed under the UK-based Centre for Digital In-novation (CDI), these pro...

ASSESSING POST-DISASTER RECOVERY USING SENTIMENT AND TOPIC ANALYSIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS: L'AQUILA, ITALY (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this conference paper, we assess the progress in post-disaster recovery by analysing 4349 tweets posted between 4th and 10th April 2019 that we collected around the 10th anniversary of the earthquake in L'Aquila. Text data collected from social me... Read More about ASSESSING POST-DISASTER RECOVERY USING SENTIMENT AND TOPIC ANALYSIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS: L'AQUILA, ITALY.

Analytical Solutions Incorporating Interfacial Mode II Fracture Energy for Predicting the Shear Response of FRP-Strengthened Concrete Samples (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are widely used for strengthening and rehabilitating ageing concrete structures, with their effectiveness strongly influenced by the behaviour at the FRP-concrete interface. This study presents a closed-form analytica...
