My current PhD research at Molde University College focuses on transport equity, accessibility planning, and sustainable urban mobility. I use GIS-based accessibility assessment and spatial analysis to examine variations in access to everyday and health-related services across urban areas and population groups, with particular attention to 15-minute-city approaches, public transport, and active mobility. My work also includes systematic and critical reviews of accessibility assessment in 15-minute-city and related proximity-based frameworks. Before joining Molde University College, I worked in municipal and consulting contexts as an urban and transport planner and taught courses in urban and transport planning.
