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 geographer, who research in the domain of environmental problems in urban areas. I completed by Bachelor degree on Urban and regional planning, with specialisation in sustainable urban transportation and emission modelling. Then I completed my master's degree in Geographical Information Science (GISc) from the University of Manchester. My master's works mostly focused on spatial data analysis and advanced spatial modelling. Currently I am at my 3rd year of PhD at the University of Manchester. My PhD research focuses on the areas of applications of spatial science in environmental epidemiology to better understand the connection between nature and human health.
