ABOUt

I am an Academic Tutor at Sheffield Creative Industries Institute, currently teaching architecture in Year 1 and Year 2 undergraduate modules. I hold a PhD in Architecture from Cardiff University's Welsh School of Architecture (WSA), an integrated Master's degree in Architectural Engineering from the School of Architecture at Democritus University of Thrace (DUTH), and I am an Associate Fellow of Advance HE UK. Since 2018, my teaching experience has included undergraduate and postgraduate modules at Cardiff School of Art & Design (CSAD) at Cardiff Metropolitan University, and at Cardiff University's Welsh School of Architecture (WSA) and School of Engineering. Areas of teaching included architectural design, interior design, architectural history and theory, poetics in architecture, health and wellbeing and spatial practices, and sustainability and the built environment.

My research interests are interdisciplinary. My doctoral study explored intersections of architecture, poetry, and wellbeing, focusing on the Brion Cemetery and experiential qualities of space. I have also worked as a Research Assistant at Cardiff University's Welsh School of Architecture and School of Engineering on research projects focusing on sustainability and community. My methodological expertise aligns with qualitative methods, interdisciplinary research, mixed-methods, and sociotechnical approaches in the built environment.
