I am an urbanist with a research focus on the role of cultural heritage and housing as entry points for recovery and resilience in crisis and conflict-affected contexts. My work explores how historic neighbourhoods, informal settlements, and displaced communities adapt and transform under the pressures of war, displacement, and climate change. I am particularly interested in how heritage can anchor identity, support social cohesion, and enable inclusive urban recovery. At the intersection of architecture and urbanism, my motivation lies in understanding and strengthening the capacity of housing and heritage to foster resilience and a renewed sense of place.
