Urban Digital Twins · Socio-spatial Resilience · Critial Infrastructure

I am a Research Associate at the Urban Big Data Centre, University of Glasgow. My research examines how social, civic, and environmental infrastructures adapt to rapid urbanisation and societal transformations.

I hold a PhD from the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Geospatial Systems at Newcastle University, funded by the UK Ministry of Defence’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl).

Before joining academia, I practised as an architect at Gensler, delivering a diverse portfolio of projects across multiple countries. I also hold an M.Arch in Housing & Urbanism from the Architectural Association School of Architecture.
