Doctor Anna Laura Pisello is currently Assistant Professor of Applied Physics at the University of Perugia in Italy. She is the author of more than 80 papers of which 50 of them are published in international peer-reviewed journals. She is the winner of five international academic awards 2013-2017. She serves as Editor-in-Chief of "Environmental Sciences and Sustainable Development" (IEREK). Her research falls into two main areas of interest: innovative smart materials for the multifunctional optimization and thermos physics characterization of building envelopes, and indoor-outdoor microclimate for environmental comfort and energy saving, with dedicated attention to the resilience of dense urban areas and cities to climate change. Within the framework of these two main themes, she investigates the following topics: energy efficiency and thermal energy performance optimization in buildings, new analysis methods for estimating the effect of innovative strategies, continuous monitoring techniques for detecting building thermal energy performance, high albedo solutions for passive cooling and as mitigation strategy against urban heat island phenomenon, local climate boundary conditions affecting building thermal energy behavior, indoor-outdoor microclimate analysis for preserving cultural heritage. Doctor Pisello is Series Editor responsible for book proposals submitted in the field of Alternative and Renewable Energies in Architecture and Urbanism.
