About me

I'm a Master of Social Sciences who works for the innovation platform CoreLab in the Faculty of Built Environment. We cooperate with e.g. the Knowledge Centre for Real Estate Development KCRED.

I specialize for example in the communication and event organization of different projects.

The projects cover diverse topics, such as construction, housing development, senior housing, digitalization and extended reality technologies. New interesting additional projects have also been the use of artificial intelligence in the KIRA sector, and hybrid real estate development.
