Biography

I am a human geographer interested in rural geography and historical geography, especially in rural housing, the approaches in rural studies and the role of longue durée in forming contemporary regional disparities. I received my PhD in 2021 from the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary. In my thesis I analysed the long-term transformation of rural settlements built by large agricultural estates in Hungary.

From 2021 to 2023 I worked as a research fellow at the Institute of History in Budapest. Being part of the 'Ten Generations Research Group' I contributed to the mapping and measuring of regional development disparities in 18th century Hungary, using quantitative methods.

From 2023 I worked as a research fellow at the HUN-REN Centre for Economic and Regional Studies, Institute for Regional Studies, Budapest.

I joined the School of Geography at the University of Nottingham in 2024 October as a Professor R H Osborne Visiting Research Fellow.

Research Summary

I am currently working on a research project on the long-term transformation of housing at estate villages in the UK, particularly in Nottinghamshire from the 18th century up until nowadays.
