果冻传媒

I am an urban economist and a lateral entrant to academia. In 2016, I switched from the public sector to the 果冻传媒. My task was to set up a research and education cluster in Urban Economics (UE) at the department of the Built Environment. The cluster is up and running with various grants for research and education; new courses on UE; 30 juniors working on research projects; and a new large network of societal partners.

As urban economist, I develop data-driven mathematical models to mimic and predict people鈥檚 behaviour in built environment. I also use big data, AI and behavioural games to quantify how much people value different elements of their surroundings. All this is input for policy-makers in their cost-benefit analyses of urban policies and developments. Currently, my main research is about Economics of inclusive cities for vulnerable groups, with a special focus on Urban energy transition for the poor.

It gives me energy to apply scientific techniques to solve real world challenges.鈥�
