A researcher and policy analyst specialising in India’s energy transition, carbon markets, and climate-related financial risk. I combine modelling-based research with policy engagement to inform real-world decisions on decarbonisation.
I am an energy and climate policy researcher with a PhD from the Technical University of Berlin and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. My work sits at the intersection of quantitative modelling and policy — using energy system models to inform decisions on India’s decarbonisation, carbon markets, and climate-related financial risk.
I have worked at the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) in New Delhi, and previously as a researcher and postdoctoral fellow at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Germany. I am currently available for consulting engagements in energy modelling, climate policy analysis, and transition risk.
