Faculty Profile

BIOGRAPHY

I am an Architect and Urban Planner. My academic and research interests lie at the intersection of GIS-based spatial analysis, urban and regional planning, and architectural design. I have experience conducting spatial analytics for planning applications and teaching assignments involving construction materials and advanced construction techniques. I am currently pursuing my PhD, focusing on applying geospatial techniques and quantitative methods to the built environment and planning studies.
