Research Interests

My research focuses on the impacts of inter-urban transport infrastructure on regional development, as well as the effects of the Syrian civil war on transport infrastructure, mobility, forestry, and agricultural practices in various regions of Syria. I employ remote sensing and GIS techniques to examine spatial transformations and socio-environmental dynamics in conflict-affected areas.
