Embedded Files
Research, for me, has always been a way to make sense of the world personally, as a woman shaped by displacement, memory, and the urgent need to build.
It is how I work through questions that don’t resolve on their own. My projects grow out of specific gaps: a fracture in identity, a myth told in a new way, a question about trust in a city. They share a common focus: women’s strength as a means of working.
I’m drawn to fields often seen as structural or technical, like urban planning, robotics, and systems design, because they leave room for a layered, relational, multitasking way of thinking. I trace where emotion intersects with infrastructure and where personal experience shapes public space. I treat resilience, beauty, logic, and empathy as parts of one system. This portfolio is my attempt to practice that kind of thinking to think like a woman who builds a new.
Urban Choreographies of the Unnoticed Citizen: Migrant Dreamers and Everyday Invisibility in Dostoevsky’s White Nights and Its City-Based Film Adaptations
Urban Choreographies of the Unnoticed Citizen: Migrant Dreamers and Everyday Invisibility in Dostoevsky’s White Nights and Its City-Based Film Adaptations
This project began 2025 with a shift in focus from the spaces where characters meet to the conditions that make them unseen. In Dostoevsky’s White Nights and its city-based film adaptations, the migrant dreamer becomes an “unnoticed citizen,” shaped as much by urban rhythms as by personal longing. I trace how different cities and directors reinterpret this figure, revealing how urban space produces everyday invisibility.
Between Hope and Struggle: Women’s Magic of Resistance in Ukrainian Mythology
Between Hope and Struggle: Women’s Magic of Resistance in Ukrainian Mythology
This project 2024 began as a way to understand how the stories passed down through Ukrainian mythology can help make sense of crisis today, especially how women’s roles in those myths offer a form of inner resistance and survival when reality feels unstable.
Women’s Self-Identity in Trauma: Artistic Voice in Frida Kahlo and Käthe Kollwitz
Women’s Self-Identity in Trauma: Artistic Voice in Frida Kahlo and Käthe Kollwitz
I began this project in 2023, in the aftermath of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which forced my family and me to confront the realities of displacement and loss.
As cities move toward deploying service robots in public spaces, their long-term success depends not only on technical capacity but also on public trust.
