Research summary
My research focuses on analysing cities from an urban and economic perspective. My doctoral research dealt with Central and Eastern European cities (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Slovenia and Romania). I explored their transformation after the fall of the Berlin Wall in the light of their demographical trajectories and their interactions in different types of transnational economic networks (companies, investments, air trasportations, trade).
My current work as a research associate at CASA deals with inequalities between cities and regions in the United Kingdom with particular interest given to the city of Manchester and clustering of activites.
