Hi, I'm Sara! 

I'm an Assistant Professor of Architecture at Lawrence Technological University's College of Architecture and Design. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Ferrara, leveraging robotics for the preservation of cultural heritage. 

My research interests span large-scale additive manufacturing, robotic fabrication, digital craft, storytelling, and generative AI for world-building. 

In 2022, I received Crain’s Detroit Notable Women in Design and Construction Award, and in 2024, I was named a testimonial for Italian Design Day by the Consulate of Italy in Detroit. 

My recent work has been exhibited at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale (curated by Carlo Ratti), Pratt Institute, Milan Design Week, and Detroit Month of Design.

I enjoy exploring workflows and tools across digital and physical spaces. I am a techno-optimist, and I love robots.
