New approaches to options valuation for circular real estate. Delft University of Technology.

Ali Khan, an architect with experience in India, shifted his focus to sustainable built environments, driven by a passion for circularity and efficiency. His Master’s degree ignited his interest in carbon-neutral solutions. His achievements include winning the Multi-family Building Division at the US DoE Solar Decathlon Design Challenge 2024 with a net-zero energy retrofit proposal. He was also a global finalist in the 2023 Build Challenge for a net-zero carbon residential building using circular materials. Additionally, he developed an agent-based model for city-wide waste management, reaching the global final at the World Architecture Festival Student Charette 2019. Currently, at TU Delft, his PhD focuses on quantum-inspired real estate valuation, aiming to integrate environmental and societal impacts. He is excited to explore this multidisciplinary field, combining real estate economics, sustainability, and quantum mechanics. He is eager to contribute to this groundbreaking work.
