I am a development planner, researcher and currently assistant professor at the Graduate of School of Engineering, Osaka University, Japan. I hold a PhD in Urban Engineering with emphasis Urban and Development Planning from Osaka University (Japan). My work and research experiences intersect between development planning, urbanism and sustainable development in global south cities. Broadly, grounded interdisciplinary research to support evidence-based policy and interventions to reduce socio-spatial vulnerabilities and to enhance locally-based approaches for sustainable communities and societies. My experiences include acton/ community-based research, international project coordination, supervision, mentoring and research authorship that span collaborations and activities across Africa, Asia-Pacific and Europe.
