Dr. Paola has a graduate and masters degree from the University Institute of Architecture of Venice (Italy) and a PhD from the University of Liverpool (UK). Her interests include SEA and EIA, urban ecology, and the assessment of evaluation practices within planning processes in differing contexts.

She has significant work experience in cross-national comparative research and planning whilst working with a Canadian environmental NGO; the School of Urban Design of the University of Washington; the IAIA; the University of Liverpool and the World Bank. From 2002 to 2006, she further developed her research interests through her Ph.D. She looked at how contextual elements and different attitudes towards the environment can affect the development of effective SEA. Furthermore, she examined how the performance of contextual elements and existing cultural attitudes can affect the definition of SEA effectiveness.

She is a member of the PENTA team and a Board Director of the IAIA.
