Courses and Contribution

We are excited to announce a new Stanford University Continuing Studies Course, "BRAINS, BODIES & BUILDINGS: Neuro-Architecture & Spaces That Shape Us". Led by a Stanford clinician who helped guide the expansion of Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, and a neuroscientist with degrees in clinical neuroscience, architecture and anthropology, this course introduces how design influences physical health and mental function. Expert-led discussions, video tours, and interactive sessions will bring the material to life. Drawing on cutting-edge research, we’ll examine the impact of light, sound, and spatial constructs. Actionable strategies are described to reimagine homes, work, and community places. We welcome design and architecture professionals, clinicians and scientists, public health, students and the public. The course description and faculty will be on online from Nov 10th Registration opens on Dec 1st. 2025 https://continuingstudies.stanford.edu/courses

ANFA-related teaching expertise

As one of ANFA's pioneers, I developed and delivered ANFA first professional workshops, courses and curricula. My professional and executive workshops and courses include Clinicians for Design, Building Blocks for Clinicians with at Great Ormond Street Hospital and Imperial College London. I developed and taught Neuroscience for Architecture curriculum with NewSchool of Architecture & Design, the Salk Institute and the University of California, San Diego, and contributed to the Intensive Courses at NSAD. I also developed and taught neuro-architecture programs and developed curricula at the Univ. of Arizona, for M.Arch., B.Arch. Landscape, and Real Estate students. I was awarded the UC Berkeley Prize for teaching, and mentor Ph.D. students and medical students at several universities.

What I teach & Where I teach

I teach professionals and firms with Clinicians for Design; am faculty at Pratt Institute, and the University of Venice Neuroscience Applied to Architecture & Design (NAAD) Masters program.
