I am a Lecturer in Social and Geographic Data Science in the UCL Geography Department. I joined UCL in 2018 as a postdoctoral research associate in the Geospatial Analytics and Computing Research Group, where I worked on cutting-edge research in spatial data science. My research focuses on urban analytics, with a particular emphasis on issues related to geo-demographics, urban transport, spatial inequalities, and residential mobility.

- Research Interests
My research interests lie primarily in the field of urban analytics, with a focus on topics such as geo-demographics, urban transport, spatial inequalities, and spatial justice. I employ a wide range of methods and approaches, including high-level programming languages such as bash, Python programming, R scripting, and PostgresSQL with PostGIS.
