Research summary
AI-generated

This publication record spans a wide range of topics rather than a single focused research program, including foreign direct investment and sustainability economics, game theory (contest design), consumer and marketing behavior, urban heritage and historic space design, and technical computer-vision/signal-processing methods like crowd localization and radar signal estimation. Given this breadth, prospective students should look closely at specific recent papers to understand which strand of work (economics, marketing, urban studies, or engineering/computer vision) might align with their interests, since the name may represent contributions across genuinely distinct fields rather than one coherent research identity.
