Profile
»I am a dedicated spatial researcher, data scientist and web developer with a profound interest in the interface between technology and the dynamics of social systems. My PhD research focused on computational simulations to promote social-spatial justice, specifically examining access to local services of general interest. My work bridges the gap between theoretical justice principles and practical applications, translating these principles into objective parameters for assessing spatial justice.«

Research
My research is concerned with urban planning and political philosophy. Translating abstract concepts of justice into objective parameters that can be measured is no trivial task. The same goes for applying these abstract concepts of justice into spatial notions of organisation of basic services supplying the means to individuals to satisfy demands including education, health, leisure, and culture. Rather than deterministic metrics to classify spatial layouts, my work is based on a multidisciplinary approach to discuss justice principles and understand the city through applying an accessibility perspective. I contribute to this field by providing a broad discussion on justice principles and related concepts, such as (in)equality and (in)justice, their spatial implications, the understanding of urban form by the justice perspective that can be used to suggest potential unjust regions.
I am currently working on the following DFG-funded project:
