Hi there 👋

I'm Alok Kumar, a researcher interested in understanding how cities grow, transform, and shape economic and social inequalities.

🔭 Research Interests

  • 🏙️ Urban Geography & Urbanization
  • 📊 Urban Economics & Regional Inequality
  • 🌆 Urban Systems and City Growth
  • 🧩 Complexity Theory and Cities
  • 🤖 Agent-Based Models & Computational Urban Science
  • 🛰️ GIS, Remote Sensing & Spatial Analysis
  • 📈 Urban Scaling and Economic Development

🌱 Currently Learning

I'm exploring new computational and spatial methods to study cities, including:

  • Geospatial data science
  • Machine learning and embeddings
  • Agent-based modelling
  • Complexity approaches to urban systems
  • Spatial and network analysis

👯 Collaboration

I'm interested in collaborating on research related to:

  • Urbanization and urban growth
  • Indian cities and urban systems
  • Small and medium-sized towns
  • Urban segregation and inequality
  • Regional development
  • Computational approaches to geography and economics

🤔 What I'm Trying to Understand

How do cities grow, and why do different urban systems produce such different economic and social outcomes?

I am particularly interested in the interface between Geography and Economics, and in developing empirical approaches to understand urbanization in India.

🎓 Research

PhD Research: Dynamics of Urbanization in India and its Economic Dimensions

My broader research examines urban growth, urban systems, economic development, and regional inequality in India.

📚 Interests Beyond Research

I enjoy exploring new places, learning from different disciplines, and understanding how historical, geographical, and economic processes shape contemporary societies.
