Designing cities with the brain in mind — where neuroscience meets architecture.
My research explores how the built environment shapes human cognition and emotion by integrating neuroscience, architectural design, and urban informatics.
I was a PhD Visiting Scholar in Experimental Psychology at University College London (UCL), collaborating with Prof. Hugo Spiers on the NeuroDesign Index (NDIX). I am currently a Research Specialist at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, investigating the neurobiological impacts of architectural and urban environments.
I also collaborate with Cambridge University and Heatherwick Studio on the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, and work with KICT on EEG and BCI-based technologies for smart construction.
EEG brainwave analysis, Eye-tracking, Virtual Reality — measuring how spaces feel from the inside out.
Machine learning, Geo Spatial Data (GIS), Statistics, Big data — finding patterns in urban complexity.
Metaverse, XR environments, built environment simulation, pedestrian behavior and walkable streets.
