... as researcher

I am driven by an insatiable curiosity, a force that has shaped both my formal education and my lifelong intellectual pursuits. 

This drive has led me to engage deeply in structured learning, earning master’s degrees in bio-engineering, philosophy, and human settlements from KU Leuven. Currently, I am pursuing doctoral research at Newrope, the Chair for Architecture and Urban Transformation at ETH Zurich.

Beyond formal study, my inquisitiveness permeates every aspect of life. I engage in sustained, intensive reading, covering approximately 15,000 pages annually, primarily in non-fiction and scholarly literature. My personal library of 5,000+ volumes reflects a lifelong accumulation—part intellectual pursuit, part collector’s devotion. My photographic practice serves as a vector of artistic research, a way of thinking through images as much as capturing them. Increasingly, my traveling projects have evolved into geopoetical experiments, unfolding at the intersection of photography, literature, and philosophical inquiry.

I have characterised my research as post-disciplinary. At its core, my work is a search for deeper connections—between systems ideas, forms of artistic expression, and lived experience. Whether through study, artistic practice, or travel, I am drawn to ways of seeing that expand possibility, enrich understanding, and celebrate the world's indomitable complexity.
