Summary
Diego Vinasco-Alvarez is a research engineer based in Lyon with nine years of experience at the intersection of data-driven tooling, geospatial semantics, and urban sustainability. He has transitioned from IT support and web development roles in the US to academic research and teaching in France, culminating in PhD work on model-driven transformations and formal knowledge graphs for 3D semantic city models. At LIRIS he produced reproducible Python/Docker tools, contributed to CityGML 3.0 discussions at the OGC, and earned an "Outstanding Paper" award for a methodology in 4D urban data integration. In his current role leading strategic monitoring at CNRS he builds operational dashboards and animates collaborations between researchers, partners and local authorities to promote sustainable cities and innovative buildings. Diego combines practical systems know-how (SCCM, JAMF, ServiceNow) with academic rigor in linked-data and geospatial standards, making him effective at turning complex urban data into actionable insights. He brings a rare blend of hands-on engineering, teaching experience, and standards-level contribution to urban digitalization projects.
