Welcome to my academic homepage.
I am an Assistant Professor in the Real Estate and Urban Development group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). As an urban geographer and planner, I work on housing, real estate, and financialization.
My research examines how real estate stakeholders make decisions. Developers, investors, managers, and residents each assess sustainability, health, and smart technologies when they plan and invest. I model these decisions and build tools to support them. The aim is to weigh financial, environmental, and social criteria together in investment, development, and portfolio management.
My work spans scales, from the well-being and residential mobility of individual tenants to institutional investment and urban inequality. I combine behavioural modelling, large-scale urban data, and historical comparison across cases in China and Europe.
Before joining TU/e, I was a Rubicon Fellow (Dutch Research Council) at the John F. Kennedy Institute, Free University of Berlin. I received my Ph.D. in Urban Studies from Delft University of Technology.
I am an Associate Editor of the Journal of Urban Management and Humanities & Social Sciences Communications.
