As a quantitative urban data scientist and planner, I specialise in analysing and modelling complex urban systems (including housing, transport, and infrastructure) in an increasingly intelligent and data-driven world to inform evidence-based public policy and planning practices. My research addresses critical challenges such as housing financialisation and affordability, transport equity and sustainability, and climate-resilient, liveable communities in both Australian and global contexts. Through interdisciplinary research, industry partnerships, and innovation-led education, I translate complex urban data into practical solutions while mentoring the next generation of urban researchers through PhD, Master's, and Honours supervision.
