Current Research

As a doctoral student at ¹û¶³´«Ã½, my research focuses on mapping and modelling deprived urban areas (DUAs) as part of the project. This interdisciplinary work integrates geospatial data, morphometric analysis, and machine learning to examine urban morphology, vulnerability, and risks. The aim is to develop scalable methodologies for identifying and analyzing DUAs, supporting sustainable urban development and resilience planning. My work also explores the role of urban form in influencing socio-economic and environmental risks, contributing to a better understanding of urban deprivation across diverse contexts.

Previous Research

Prior to my current role, I worked on a variety of geospatial projects with a focus on coastal environments, wildlife conservation and tool development. This included analyzing morphological changes in sand dunes using UAV data, shoreline change assessments, wildlife-linear infrastructure conflict mitigation, species monitoring, evaluating the effectiveness of coastal protection structures, and preparing shoreline management plans (SMPs). I also contributed to the development of geospatial tools for assessing coastal vulnerability and high-risk areas due to damaged protection structures. These projects emphasized the application of geospatial technologies in environmental management and decision-making, laying a strong foundation for my current research.

I am involved in teaching at ¹û¶³´«Ã½, particularly in the field of geomatics. My teaching responsibilities include delivering lectures and practical sessions on geospatial technologies, with a recent focus on UAVs and their applications. In my latest lecture, I introduced students to drone technology, covering topics such as flight planning, data collection, and processing using ArcGIS Drone2Map.

I actively collaborate with international networks and organizations to advance research on urban deprivation and geospatial analysis. As part of the , I contribute to global efforts in developing innovative & practical frameworks for mapping deprived urban areas, supporting evidence-based planning and policy. I am also engaged with UN-Habitat colleagues, working towards integrating geospatial methodologies into sustainable urban development and resilience-building strategies. Additionally, I collaborate with a diverse network of researchers and practitioners worldwide who are focused on deprivation mapping, facilitating knowledge exchange and fostering interdisciplinary approaches to address urban challenges. This collaborative network includes colleagues and organizations from Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, the USA, the UK, Scotland, Nigeria, Kenya, Argentina and Spain.
