About Me
I am a Research Assistant at the Max van der Stoel Institute and a part-time lecturer at the Energy, Economy and Environment program of the Faculty of Business and Economics, in the South East European University (SEEU).
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business and Economics (LSE), an SEEU program that was in collaboration with London School of Economics. Subsequently, I pursued my master’s degree in Air Pollution, Management and Control at the University of Birmingham (with Distinction), where I actively participated in many extracurricular activities. My thesis focused on apportioning of the sources in an urban household in Tetovo using Non-Negative Matrix Factorization. Notably, this analysis marked the first instance of such methods being applied in the city.
Prior to joining MVDSI, I worked as a finance associate at AeroTehnika DOOEL. Additionally, I worked with different organizations, being actively involved in volunteering work, particularly focusing on environmental and social causes.
My research focuses on air pollution, with a primary focus on Tetovo, and the utilization of source apportionment methods to distinguish between the various pollution sources prevalent in the city.
