Grażyna Chaberek

Grażyna Chaberek serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Spatial Management at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Gdańsk. With 16 years of academic experience and a PhD in Earth Sciences specializing in economic geography, she combines expertise as an economist and logistician to advance spatial planning research. Her work focuses on the economic dimensions of urban logistics infrastructure, particularly its role in supporting businesses and residents within sustainable mobility frameworks.

Her research interests center on spatial planning, urban logistics, and sustainable mobility systems. Dr. Chaberek investigates how geospatial technologies (GIS, remote sensing) and synthetic indicators can optimize transportation networks and regional development. She examines economic geography applications in urban contexts, with particular attention to railway infrastructure feasibility, last-mile logistics solutions, and socio-economic sustainability metrics across diverse geographical settings including Poland, India, Ukraine, and Serbia.

Recent publications (2019-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on sustainable urban transport, with key themes including zero-emission bus adoption, e-scooter energy demands, and railway network optimization. Her work integrates economic geography with practical spatial management challenges, employing geostatistical analysis and machine learning to address real-world urban mobility problems across international contexts.

As an academic tutor since 2014, Dr. Chaberek implements Design Thinking techniques from Stanford University and Oxford/Cambridge tutoring methodologies. She mentors students in research skill development, personal branding, and goal-setting through positive psychology frameworks. Her educational approach emphasizes practical application of spatial management concepts through essay writing and developmental exercises.

Dr. Chaberek collaborates with commercial entities and local government teams on market expertise development projects. Her work bridges academic research with practical spatial management applications, contributing to regional planning initiatives through interdisciplinary approaches that integrate economic, social, and environmental perspectives.
