The theme of my doctoral (DLA) research is, based on my personal and professional orientation, exploring the impact of urbanisation on people and the environment, with a special focus on the topic of mobility.

The choice of research topic is, by its very nature, one that affects us all, permeating all levels of society and the environment. It touches on important social and ecological issues. Through this project work, I will aim to create a comprehensive and tangible research material and master thesis that will be thought-provoking, inspiring and integrable material for urban planning, mobility and design disciplines, as well as for theorists and policymakers. It is also very important for me, as a lecturer at the Design Institute of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, that my doctoral thesis can be connected to the educational programme of MOME - University of the future, holisticthematic, value-creating, and extending to the fields of urban design, mobility design, product design, design services, and more. 

In my research, I am also looking for answers to the question of how a truly sustainable, socially, ecologically and urbanistically symbiotic system can be implemented, based on the approach and the methodology of social and inclusive design. In my master thesis, I would like to answer the question of how innovation, sustainability and the need for mobility can go hand in hand in the urban context.
