RESEARCH PROFILE
I am an urban economist and a lateral entrant to academia. In 2016, I came to the TU/e Built Environment to set up a research and education line in Urban Economics for Technological Innovation. The initiative has grown into a successful program, supported by multiple grants for both research and teaching. It includes new courses in Urban Economics, a team of junior researchers engaged in funded projects, and an extensive network of societal partners.
My research develops data-driven mathematical models to simulate and predict human behaviour in cities. I use big data, AI, and behavioural games to quantify and monetise the societal impacts of urban technologies—such as energy-efficient housing—on outcomes like poverty, health, environment, comfort. Much of my research centres on public housing, and all projects involve engineering. The findings are translated into cost-benefit analyses and actionable decision-support tools that are used by housing associations, municipalities and other stakeholders.
My digital footprint:\ www.ossokina.com - own research; www.bel-tue.nl - TU/e research on people's aspect of energy transition; \ www.wetenschap4corporaties.nl - workshops where Science meets Public housing; www.tue.nl/ubex - the Urban Behaviour eXtended reality lab of TU/e Built Environment.
It gives me energy to apply scientific techniques to solve real world challenges.”
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
My background is mathematical economics and econometrics, with a PhD from Erasmus University Rotterdam in 2003. Before moving to the TU/e, I served for 13 years as (senior) economic researcher at CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis, the financial think tank of the Dutch Government.
