Biography

Engineer, Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering (Universities of Pisa and Florence) and in Sciences des Métiers de l’Ingénieur (Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Aix-en-Provence), Valeria Croce currently works as a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Pisa on the topic of drawing representation and architectural design, with specific focus on 3D surveying, digital information modeling systems for Cultural Heritage objects, semantic annotations, Artificial Intelligence and H-BIM. The research addresses the issues of interpreting survey data using more automatic tools based on Artificial Intelligence for the supervised recognition of architectural components and deteriorating conditions, as well as for the characterization of visual and geometric aspects of architectural surfaces; the use of H-BIM platforms and the management of Scan-to-BIM processes; the semantic structuring of architectural representations through web-based and collaborative applications; the application of survey tools for pre- and post-disaster investigations, with reference to territories at high seismic risk. She is currently tenure of co-teaching activities of the Laboratory of Representation of for the CdL in Engineering for Industrial Design, School of Engineering University of Pisa and of Architectural Design for the CdLM in Civil Engineering and Architecture at the University of Pisa.
