I am Assistant Professor in Regional Knowledge and Innovation Ecosystems and co-initiator of the RUrban Futures Collective at BMS.
In my work I build on my design background (architecture), practice-based research with community initiatives, and experience with creative forms of engagement and transdisciplinary collaborations. I contribute to innovative teaching formats and research on sustainability transformations that bring together different forms of knowledge and expertise and cross the traditional boundaries of the 'urban' and the 'rural'. I focus on multi-sensory and embodied pedagogies and forms of engagement that stimulate an enhanced environmental awareness and collective imagination on alternative futures. My work includes experimentation with creative uses of technology, including formats such as data walk-shops and digital story-making approaches.
I originally studied and practised architecture (Dublin), and briefly worked as an urban planner (London). I obtained a PhD in sustainable development, focused on urban mobility practices and participatory tools, at Trinity College Dublin. This was complemented by postdoctoral research expertise in community-led urban resilience (University of Sheffield) and creative forms of civic engagement in smart cities (Utrecht University).
