Profile
»I am a data scientist and web developer who is passionate about technology and interested in how social systems work. In my PhD, I studied computational simulations for promoting social-spatial justice. Thereby, I used the example of access to local services of general interest. Currently, I am a research fellow at the GETIN lab (Research Group on Territory and Innovation) of the University of Aveiro, Portugal, where I work on the JUSTPLAN (Justice for Territorial Planning) EU HORIZON 2020 project. I have been a visiting scholar at TU Dortmund University via the ERASMUS+ programme. Subsequently, I remain associated with the RAM team as an Associated Researcher, enabling a wide range of collaborations.«

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.
