Understanding socio-technical systems as key drivers to sustainable river basin management
I’m an early-career researcher passionate about understanding river basins as complex human-natural systems, with particular focus on managing scientific and technological innovations as socio-technical systems and a key societal driver of river basins development. I adopt multidisciplinary approaches to measure the interactive dynamics in socio-technical systems as complex networks and how such dynamics co-evolved with biophysical processes for more sustainable water resources management.
