Irina Novakosky Labuntes - Intern

I grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I began my studies in Civil Engineering at the Universidad de Buenos Aires. From early on, my passion for travel sparked a question I couldn't stop thinking about: why does transportation infrastructure look and behave so differently from one city to another, and what makes some systems genuinely work for people?

That curiosity became a compass. It led me to move to Milan and continue at Politecnico di Milano, first completing my Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering in English, and then pursuing my Master's in Transportation Infrastructure in Italian, fully immersing myself in a new academic and cultural environment.

I am someone who doesn't settle for the ordinary; new challenges make work and life interesting. At MIC-HUB, I am part of the Infrastructure Design team, where I look forward to learning from my colleagues while contributing my own point of view: I believe that fresh perspectives have real value in shaping the next generation of transportation and design solutions.

I am particularly fascinated by Intelligent Transportation Systems and the growing conversation around smart roads: how physical infrastructure and digital technology are beginning to merge, and what that means for the way we design the roads of tomorrow. I am excited to grow alongside my team and the rest of MIC-HUB's inspiring professionals, exploring exactly where that future is headed.
