Dr Komali Yenneti (PhD, MPlng, BArch, RACA, AITP) is a Lecturer in Geography, Urban Planning and Environment at the School of Architecture and Built Environment, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Wolverhampton. She is also an Honorary Fellow at the Australia-India Institute, and is the founding Chair of the International Geographical Union’s Young and Early-Career Geographers Task Force (IGU-YECG). Komali has previously worked with the University of New South Wales (UNSW), the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGLAS) and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) on various policy, applied and community-oriented projects in India, China and Australia related to urban poverty and inequality, cities and climate change vulnerability, cooling cities and urban heat mitigation, urban energy transitions, energy efficiency in the built environment, and smart cities. She was also a visiting researcher at the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and Das Deutsche Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE). In addition to a number of academic partners, her recent research has had involved more than 25 government and industry partners from around the world, for example, City of Sydney, New South Wales - Department of Planning and Industry, City of Hyderabad, DuPont Tyvek, and Mahindra Life Spaces in projects that created solutions for improving lives of people and environment, while developing knowledge exchange partnerships for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). 

Dr. Yenneti has won several research grants, including those from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), CRC for Low Carbon Living (CRCLCL), New South Wales - Office of Environment and Heritage (NSW-OEH), and Parramatta City Council on various topics of Sustainability like climate-smart cities, smart energy management, data augmented design for sustainable cities, sustainable energy transformations, energy efficiency decision-making, and cool and resilient communities. She has published widely in high impact and influential journals related to 'Energy, Environment and Planning', and has made several policy contributions including the ‘Cooling Cities’ document featured on the UNISDR , UNEP’s ‘Sustainable Cities and Communities’ , Making Indian Cities Energy Smart published by TERI and Energy Assessment Tool for BASIX published by CRCLCL. She is also frequent reviewer for more than 10 international journals, and is on the editorial board of 'Sustinere: Journal of Environment & Sustainability'. Her work has frequently appeared in national and international media, such as  The Hindu, Business Standard, Solent University and UNSW, and has contributed to media articles in  The Conversation, Morning India and Indian Observer Post. 

Dr. Yenneti is a frequent invited speaker, including those events by the Low Carbon Energy for Development Network (LCEDN) and Al-Gore’s Climate Change Leadership Programme. She was selectd as one of the World’s Top 25 Young Scientists (Green Talents) in Energy by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany (2012) and for the ‘100 Great Minds’ by the Falling Walls Foundation (2013). She has served in research, advocacy and advisory capacities for several international organisations including LandCom University Roundtable, Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), Smart Cities Taskforce - Committee for Sydney and the Commonwealth Youth Climate Network (CYCN).

Dr Yenneti is currently the Course Leader of BSc (Hons) 'Geography, Urban Environments and Climate Change' and Module Leader of 'Human Health and the Environment', Geography, Theory and Practice', 'Energy and Climate Change' and 'Urban Geography'.

My research addresses some of the key environment and society challenges and is particularly informed by interdisciplinary theories and concepts of social justice, vulnerability and inequality across energy, climate and the urban sectors. I am particularly interested in the nexus between research, policy and practice. I am interested in research-informed teaching and education that integrates innovative methods and applications, produces original thinkers and promotes meaningful engagement with discourses on environment, economy and society.
