Personal profile
Expertise
PhD researcher in Interdisciplinary Studies: Urban Studies. My research interests are : Urban environmental justice, Equity, School greening, Urban Planning, Participatory Planning, Geography, Cartography. My PhD research project (started in January 2022), aims at examining the geospatial distribution of, and access/exposure to, nature-based solutions (NBS) and green and blue infrastructures (GBI), within and around primary schools in the Brussels-Capital Region. In this framework, I'm contributing to the ERA-NET Cofund COOLSCHOOLS project (2022-2025).
