Biography

Sohail Ahmad is a Research Fellow in GCRF Centre for Sustainable, Healthy and Learning Cities and Neighbourhoods (SHLC).   

Ahmad works investigate low-carbon urban development options and socio-spatial exclusion issues in built environments and housing in south Asian cities. Focussing on low-carbon development, his works explore the distribution and determinants of household greenhouse gas emissions spatially. More recently, he investigates how fuel prices shape urban form in global cities. To bridge the gap between formal and informal settlements, he estimated the demand for housing and its attributes using household surveys and assessed socio-spatial exclusion and its determinants. These empirical studies have extensively employed (spatial) econometrics analyses using Stata and R on large datasets.

Prior to joining SHLC, he was an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow at the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change, Berlin with joint affiliation to the Technische Universität Berlin. He briefly taught at the School of Planning and Architecture, Vijayawada in UG and PG programs. He completed a JSPS-UNU postdoctoral fellowship at the United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies (Tokyo) with a joint affiliation to the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

He received a PhD in City Planning from the Seoul National University, a Master of Planning (Urban Planning) from the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, and a BArch (Hons) from the Aligarh Muslim University.

Ahmad is a World Social Science Fellow (Sustainable Urbanization) in 2014 and a Green Talent awardee in 2013 from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany.
