Delloye
Urban and Regional Scientist
I am a geographer fascinated by the quantitative modelling of migrations, land-use and transport systems, at both urban and regional scales. My research interests lie at the crossroad of classic theories of economics or geography and modern concepts and methods of complex systems.
“Geographers who find it worthwhile to develop pure theory with extensive use of mathematics and to engage in the construction of large-scale models with considerable analytical content and employing extensive sets of data.”
Walter Isard, 1975

Géographie économique
Since 2020. A 50-hour course for second year students from the Bachelor in Geographical Sciences of the Université catholique de Louvain.
-
Urban and Environmental Economics
From 2018 to 2021. A 32-hour course for second year students from the Master in Geography and Spatial Planning of the University of Luxembourg. Co-teaching with Prof Sophie Legras.
