HI, I’M ANDREA…

As an Associate Director at Research Consulting with over a decade of experience in both academic and professional research settings, I have a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical expertise. My professional career has focused on designing and implementing effective mixed methods research, helping organisations gather more accurate data and derive meaningful insights.

Throughout my career, I've designed and implemented research projects for commercial, non-profit, academic and governmental organisations, in the UK and worldwide. I frequently present my work to external audiences, in both confidential settings and sector conferences and events.

My strong foundation in research began with my MSc in Nuclear and Energy Engineering from Italy, followed by a PhD in Civil Engineering in the UK. I later expanded my skillset through an MBA and a Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Practice, also in the UK, which led to my recognition as a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute (CMgr FCMI).

I believe that this diverse educational and professional expertise is what enables me to bridge the gap between theory and practice. My course translates complex methodological concepts into actionable techniques that researchers at all levels can immediately apply to their work. I focus particularly on the cognitive and psychological aspects of questioning, helping researchers understand not just what works, but why it works.

MY EXPERIENCE

I'm not just asking you to believe in my experience - I have written plenty of reports and other publications that you can look at and see for yourself. The documents below are only a fraction of what I have worked on in the last decade (i.e. the things I am free to share publicly!), but they should give you a sense of the breadth of research methods I regularly apply.

The carousel below only covers reports I have worked on. If you are interested in other outputs such as articles, peer-reviewed publications, posters or presentations, visit this page.
