Socio-Spatial Framework to Improve Air Quality in Transit-Oriented Development (2025)
Thesis

This research focuses on air quality management in Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) neighbourhoods, addressing the complex interplay between urban design, community behaviour, and regulatory policies. TODs, while promoting sustainable urban develop... Read More about Socio-Spatial Framework to Improve Air Quality in Transit-Oriented Development.

Thermographic Analysis of Green Wall and Green Roof Plant Types under Levels of Water Stress (2024)
Journal Article

A Biomimicry Model for Design of Building Facades (2023)
Thesis

It is increasingly recognised that the built environment and subsequently buildings are
significant contributors to many drivers of global environmental degradation, including
climate change, loss of biodiversity, and reductions in the ability of e... Read More about A Biomimicry Model for Design of Building Facades.

A Catalyst Approach for Smart Ecological Urban Corridors at Disused Waterways (2023)
Journal Article

Green and blue infrastructures have always played a key role in shaping European cities, acting as drivers for urban and rural development and regeneration. There is a reawakening of consciousness by European cities towards their waterways following... Read More about A Catalyst Approach for Smart Ecological Urban Corridors at Disused Waterways.
