About
My current academic projects are on housing, gentrification, transportation, homelessness, remote work, and residential segregation.
I am on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Economic Geography, and a consultant for the World Bank. My research has been funded by the SSHRC, the NSF, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and it regularly features in the popular press. My public speaking is often on the impact of recent urban trends on real estate markets.
I received my PhD from the University of Toronto in 2013. Prior to joining UBC in 2020, I worked as a real estate professor at UC Berkeley.
