I am a transport engineer in Paris, and associate research fellow at the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, the University of Tokyo.

Some parts of the webpage is under construction (August 2021).

Research

My research focuses on evidence based urban planning, which is empowered by the understanding of the structure of urban systems, including the built environment, street networks, and human behavior in urban spaces.

Topics: Urban diversity / Transport planning / Causal inference

Publications
