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 study housing as both a political-economic system and a lived experience, with cases in China and Europe.

My research asks how housing markets financialize, how affordability crises build up, and how these forces reshape residents’ housing costs and wealth. On the household side, I study how people decide where and how to live. A recurring aim is to connect the structural forces driving housing markets with the choices households make within them. To support this, I am developing cross-country data infrastructure on housing listings and transactions in China and Europe, combined with choice experiments, surveys, and qualitative and institutional analysis. My work is quantitative in method and critical in orientation.

Before joining TU/e, I was an NWO Rubicon Fellow at the John F. Kennedy Institute, Freie Universität Berlin. I received my PhD in Urban Studies from Delft University of Technology, and was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship.

I am an Associate Editor of Journal of Urban Management and Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, and a board member of Research Committee on Housing and Built Environment (RC43) of the International Sociological Association.
