About Me:

I am a PhD candidate in Human Geography at Heidelberg University and a member of the Transient Spaces & Societies research group. My research interests centre on how digital technologies shape people’s behaviour, everyday spatial practices and relationships with places.

My doctoral research examines how digital nomadism takes shape in China and how it transforms places and local socio-spatial relations. In particular, I explore how digital technologies such as platforms influence people’s spatial choices and mobility, and how these practices, in turn, reshape places and spaces. My research draws on qualitative methods and digital ethnography.
