Rodrigo Martinez-Mazza

I am a Lecturer in Real Estate Economics and Finance at University College London, where I lead the MSc in Real Estate Economics and Investment Analysis and direct the Bartlett Real Estate Institute.

My research bridges real estate economics and public policy, focusing on housing affordability, market regulation, and urban climate adaptation. My work aims to inform policy decisions and support the development of practical housing solutions by applying empirical methods to real-world challenges.

Prior to joining UCL, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Housing and Urban Research (IBF) at Uppsala University. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Barcelona, where my doctoral research analysed the effects of housing policy and short-term rental markets on housing affordability.

Outside academia, I am an amateur photographer (the sunset over the City in the header image is my own). I also enjoy practising human towers (castells) and making homemade pizza.
