Welcome!
I am a Spatial Scientist and Sessional Academic at Curtin University. I obtained my PhD with Chancellor’s Commendation from Curtin University in Aug-2023 (PhD started in Jan-2021) and was awarded the 2023 Humanities Greg Crombie Postgraduate Work of the Year Award.
My research interests are spatial statistics / spatial data science with applications in population geography, transport geography, and land use planning, with ‘Robust geographical detector’, ‘Geocomplexity explains spatial errors’, 'The heterogeneity of spatial autocorrelation', as featured works.
