I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the ZEW – Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research in Mannheim.
My research lies at the intersection of transport economics and spatial economics. I study how transport systems and transport policies shape the spatial organisation of economic activity, with particular interests in climate policy, urban development and long-run structural change.
My work develops and applies structural economic models to analyse the economy-wide impacts of transport and climate policies. I am particularly interested in understanding how policy interventions affect mobility, accessibility, housing markets, land use and welfare through market interactions and spatial adjustment.
My current research is organised around three complementary themes:
Transport Economics
Aviation economics and decarbonisation
Sustainable transport systems
Climate policy and transport regulation
Urban and Spatial Economics
Urban redevelopment
Accessibility and transport networks
Housing markets and neighbourhood change
Spatial impacts of transport policy
Structural Economic Modelling
Spatial equilibrium models
Quantitative policy evaluation
Welfare analysis
Long-run market adjustment
My earlier research contributed to the economic assessment of Urban Air Mobility and emerging transport technologies. While my current work has shifted towards broader questions in transport and spatial economics, this research continues to inform my interest in how technological and policy changes reshape transport systems.
Through my research, I aim to develop quantitative tools that support evidence-based transport and climate policy.
