Personal profile

Biography

I’m currently a PhD researcher at Ulster University (UK), specializing in Architecture, Built Environment, and Urban Planning. I completed both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Architecture at Liverpool John Moores University, UK, where I developed a strong foundation in design and research. My passion is in sustainable spatial design that supports health, care, and well-being, with a particular focus on the healing potential of architecture. I explore how spaces can positively impact people’s lives through qualitative, human-centered research, and I’ve had the opportunity to present my work at international conferences and publish contributions to evidence-based design. I’m always open to connecting, sharing ideas, and collaborating on meaningful projects that bridge research and practice.
