MC

Margie Chaskopoulou

Design and Skills Tutor

Design and Skills Tutor at the Machine Intelligence Lab. Supports teaching and research activities at the intersection of spatial design, computation, and architectural practice.

LF

Lubaba Fakeih

Researcher and PhD Candidate

PhD candidate at the Space Syntax Laboratory researching the intersection of machine intelligence and spatial analysis. Contributing to the lab's ongoing research on computational models of human behaviour in architectural and urban environments.

LL

Lian Lei

Researcher and PhD Candidate

Studied Urban Planning and Design in Wuhan, China, and Urban Regeneration in London, UK. Before starting her doctoral research at Space Syntax Laboratory, BSA, UCL, she worked in Beijing in both academic and planning industry for five years. Research focuses on the morphological features of architectural and urban space across scales, exploring how people interact with the built environment physically and culturally, and interdisciplinary design responses to the challenges of future cities.
