I'm a PhD candidate at UCL's Spiers Lab, studying how the places we build shape the way we think and feel.

Alongside this, I teach data science as a freelancer: bootcamps and corporate workshops across Europe and the US.

PhD candidate at UCL's Spiers Lab, investigating how the environments we build shape how we think, feel, and navigate.

Environmental Design & Cognition

our surroundings are not passive backdrops. sensory properties like light, complexity, nature, and scale measurably alter attention, memory, and emotional state.

Spatial Cognition & Neuroscience

behavioral and physiological methods to understand how people navigate and represent space. wayfinding, spatial memory, the neural correlates of place.

Applied Urban Research

translate lab findings into principles for architects, planners, and policymakers. better environments through neuroscience, not just aesthetics.

Research Intern 2020–2021
Max Planck Institute for Human Development  ·  Berlin

comparative study of virtual environments on neural and physiological correlates. literature reviews on nature, aesthetic preference, and restoration.
PI: Simone Kühn

Research Intern 2020
Conscious Brain Lab  ·  Amsterdam

distinguishing between perceptual and post-perceptual bias in humans.
PI: Simon Van Gaal

Building and teaching data science across bootcamps, corporate workshops, and research environments.
