Mrudhula Koshy, is an Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture and Planning, Faculty of Architecture and Design, NTNU, Norway since 2018. She is an urbanist. She has a postmaster's degree in urbanism from TU Delft (The Netherlands) and IUAV Venice (Italy).

Her doctoral research investigates the concepts of uncertainty, resilience and contingency, and the strategic use of these concepts at the intersection of spatial planning, decision-making in governance, disaster risk reduction, and humanitarian responses to deal with unprecedented environmental crises in developmental contexts.

From 2014-2018, she worked in urbanism offices in The Netherlands and gained valuable experience regarding long-term initiatives in energy landscapes, urban metabolism, post-fossil energy scenarios and multi-scalar design solutions for transitioning to renewable energy use, circular economy, productive cities and sustainable mobility infrastructure.

Her core interests lie in developing context-based, multi- scalar strategies and methodologies for complex spatial research and design themes to address structural ambiguities and urgencies especially in the global south.
