Profile
I am an interdisciplinary PhD researcher at ITS with a background in architecture, psychology, and smart cities. My main research interests include travel socialisation, spatial cognition, travel-mode habit formation, and the behavioural mechanisms that shape mobility decisions.
At ITS I am part of the Understanding Change team within the INFUZE project. My research contributes to understanding how values and norms are transmitted within households, and how negotiation dynamics between household members inform travel-choice behaviour, particularly around car ownership.
