Panagiota is a senior researcher at ICTA-UAB and the PI of the 5-year ERC-CoG project (IMBRACE) which looks at what shapes immigrants’ climate health vulnerability (related to extreme heat, storms and flooding, and vector-borne disease) and how situated knowledges inform both their own response capacities and urban climate adaptation more broadly, towards more effective and just approaches. She is a biologist by training, with a Joint Master’s degree on Environmental Studies (Universidade de Aveiro, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), and a PhD in Development Studies from the University of Bonn (ZEF-Center for development Studies).
