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

Research fellow

Collecting and analysing various transport and socio-economic data for the MMUST project (Modèle MUltimodal et Scénarios de mobilité Transfrontaliers), an INTERREG-funded project

I am also teaching !

  • Urban and Environmental Economics

    A 32-hour course for second year students from the Master in Geography and Spatial Planning of the University of Luxembourg. I am teaching it with Prof Sophie Legras since 2018.

  • Urban Economics

    A 8-hour lecture I gave to the students of the International Erasmus Program in Geographical Modelling, in Dijon (France), in February 2019.

  • Urban Economics through Simulations

    A 8-hour lecture for the students of the International Erasmus Program in Geographical Modelling. I gave this lecture with Prof Remi Lemoy in Rouen (France), in February 2017.

Dissertation award !

In November 2018, I felt honoured to be awarded the PhD dissertation prize from the Regional Science Association International (RSAI). This great news was announced in San Antonio, Texas, during the 65th North American Regional Science Meeting. Regional science is an interdisciplinary field concerned with theory, method, and application of regional, urban and rural, geographic and spatial investigations and analyses. It is also a vibrant and welcoming research community that inspires me a lot, which I why this acknowledgement really means something to me.
