ABOUT ME
LINKS
I possess a multi-disciplinary academic background including urban and regional planning, quantitative geography, and environmental sciences. I consider myself a quantitative urban health geographer, who research in the domain of environmental-health problems, and nature-based solutions in urban areas. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Urban and regional planning, with specialisation in sustainable urban transportation and emission modelling. Then I completed my master's degree in Geographical Information Science from the University of Manchester. My master's works mostly focused on spatial data analysis and advanced spatial modelling. My PhD research focused on environmental health issues, nature-based solutions for public health, and I developed new approaches to model greenspace exposure using innovative geospatial methods and big-spatial data.
