I am a Ph.D. student in the Science, Technology and Environmental Policy (STEP) program. My research interests lie in the areas of modern energy access, climate change and sustainability. My work has always been multidisciplinary, where I look at technical, socio-economic, political and developmental aspects of energy. Within STEP, I am interested in understanding the relationship between human decisions and their impacts on climate change and energy. In order to hasten access and reliability of modern energy services, I want to study how environmental and energy based choices/behaviours are made in developing countries.

Prior to coming to Princeton, I worked at premier think tanks in India, including the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago and the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy. I have also worked on projects in Ghana and Cambodia. My work has resulted in me being invited to international level conferences and publications in peer reviewed publications and articles in leading newspapers.

I received my double Masters degree in Sustainable Energy from the Royal institute of Technology, Sweden and Instituto Superior Tecnico, Portugal via the Innoenergy scholarship granted by the European Commission.
