Self-introduction
Ayyoob Sharifi is Professor at the IDEC Institute, Hiroshima University. He also has cross-appointments at the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Graduate School of Advances Science and Engineering. His research is mainly at the interface of urbanism and climate change mitigation and adaptation. He actively contributes to global change research programs such as the Future Earth and has served as a lead author for the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Before joining Hiroshima University, he was the Executive Director of the Global Carbon Project, leading the urban flagship activity of the project. Ayyoob is interested in pursuing research at the interface of climate change and urban planning. The ultimate goal of his research is to provide further insights into how to develop sustainable, peaceful, just, and resilient communities.
