Understanding the economic value of real estate and urban-regional growth processes is at the core of my work. My work has been published in scientific journals such as Land Economics, Ecological Economics, Landscape and Urban Planning, Applied Geography, the Journal of Regional Science, and the Journal of Housing Economics.

I was a visiting scholar at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris and the Gran Sasso Science Institute in Italy and have been tenured since 2019. Currently, I serve on the Board of the Association for Real Estate Researchers Netherlands and as an Education Committee member of the American Real Estate Society.

I have contributed knowledge about real estate markets, spatial development, and sustainable land use to international policy organisations, major firms, and several Dutch governmental agencies.
