MSc student Complex Systems Engineering and Management

After a bachelor’s in Civil Engineering, I decided to start a Master’s in Complex Systems Engineering and Management - Information and Communication Track at TU Delft, where I can apply ICT skills to analyze socio-technical systems and challenges. I am currently following an Artificial Intelligence Specialization, and my main goal is to use Urban Data Science and Machine Learning to identify urban inequalities and support decision-making processes.

My thesis research with CUSP focuses on analyzing gender and accessibility: a feminist approach to modeling accessibility. I aim to identify gender differences in mobility and analyze how person-based metrics affect perceived accounts of accessibility. The outcomes from this research may contribute to urban planning field and the designing of gender-equitable access.
