Biography
I am a researcher and an architect pursuing a PhD at TU Delft titled Weaponized Environments. My work examines how natural and built landscapes are manipulated in warfare, with a focus on documenting violence, environmental harm, and spatial destruction.
I work with geolocation, chronolocation, satellite imagery analysis, and pattern recognition to reconstruct incidents from minimal or degraded evidence. Alongside my PhD, I collaborate with human rights organizations and newsrooms on open source investigations, damage assessments, and spatial reconstructions of conflict zones.
My work has been commissioned by the BBC World Service, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Al Jazeera, New Lines Magazine, Oregon State University, and PBS NewsHour, and published in the New York Times, France 24, and NRC, among others.
