A Lecturer in Architecture and Researcher at CPU Lab. Interested in the prospect of using digital tools to understand and model the development of cities. With the use of complexity theory as a guide and data as fuel, constantly seeking to reach an informed state that allows for the accurate use of positive design interventions to enhance the natural progression of the urban realm. PhD research topic includes ‘Combining market led economic modelling and urban spatial modelling’.
Computational design, Agent-based modelling, Simulative urban models, Design tools, Urban modelling, spatial tools for analysis.
