I am a Senior Lecturer in Spatial Planning. Prior to this, I was a Lecturer and a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Manchester.

The first strand of my research centres on examining spatial inequalities, including their underlying determinants and socio-economic and environmental impacts, to inform and support spatial planning policies. My ongoing projects investigate spatial health inequalities and their relationships with socio-economic and environmental factors. Another strand of my research focuses on spatial structure, human mobility, their interactions, and sustainability implications. I employ a multi-scalar spatial perspective and mixed methods to analyse these issues, aiming to understand spatial planning challenges and identifying potential policy interventions and solutions.

Currently I am the Co-Associate Director of Research Ethics in the School of Environment, Education, and Development.

My research employs mixed research methodologies with a particular focus on quantitative methods within the fields of planning, geography and social science, including：

• Geospatial data analytics
• Social statistics
• Machine learning
• Participatory methods

• URBN70011 Policy Making in Greater Manchester (Unit coordinator)
• PLAN26041 Data Analytics for Planning and Real Estate (Unit coordinator)
• PLAN20172 Applied Research for Planning and Real Estate (Unit co-coordinator)
• PLAN60090&EVDV60890&PLAN60550&60560 MSc PGT Dissertation (Unit coordinator)
• PLAN30000 UG Dissertation (Unit coordinator)
• PLAN40761/PLAN60761 Digital Planning - Spatial and Policy Analysis (Unit contribution)
• PLAN40861/PLAN60861 International Planning: System and Frameworks (Unit contribution)

I would be happy to hear from prospective PhD students with the research interests in the following areas: 

• decision-making support in planning
• spatial inequalities (e.g. spatial health inequalities)
• travel behaviour, mobility and interactions with urban spatial structure
• transport decarbonisation
