Personal profile
Personal Statement
I'm working on urban planning and architecture research & design since 2015, and now doing PhD at the University of Strathclyde. I initiated my academic career life at Cardiff University in School of Geography and Planning in 2015 and had two major research experiences, one was in Copenhagen on the analytical study of a liveable city, and another in Arusha, Tanzania about globalization that enhances Massai culture and Arusha's hospitality industries. In my graduate studies, I was involved more in urban design and architectural questioning in Housing & Urbanism at the Architectural Association School of Architecture.
