I am a Doctoral Fellow at the Institute of Landscape and Urban Studies (LUS) at ETH Zürich, where my research examines the landscapes of Berlin’s mass housing estates. My work brings together architectural history, landscape studies, and the environmental humanities to investigate long-term urban transformations. At ETH Zürich, I also teach a seminar and have delivered studio lectures on the interrelation of housing and landscape. Previously, I served as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston.
My work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals including Landscape Research, Journal of Planning History, OASE, and City, Culture & Society, as well as in architectural magazines and student-led journals such as koozArch, Pidgin, trans, Room One Thousand, PLAT, and Paprika!. Beyond publishing, I regularly present my research, chair panels, and co-organize academic events. I am also part of DocTalks, an inter-institutional network for history and theory scholars.
My academic work has been supported through fellowships and research grants, including a Fulbright Fellowship at UC Berkeley, a DAAD Field Research Fellowship at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, and a Doctoral Research Residency at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal. I hold degrees in architecture, urban design, and city planning from Rice University and TU Berlin, where I also taught and worked as a research assistant. My design experience spans architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design practices in Houston, Berlin, and Lisbon, and continues to inform my research.
