PhD student  Odeuropa project, Cambridge University

My trajectory reflects my determination to develop an ambitious and sophisticated project. My academic background in urban planning and my passion for scent have allowed me to connect the two fields. I am convinced that odors are a hidden but essential aspect of our experience of space. This is why I am researching olfactory landscapes as a PhD student in the European project, which focuses my work on the cultural and heritage recognition of odors.
