Energy system modelling is at the core of my work. I use integrated assessment models to develop scenarios that help governments, financial institutions, and research organisations understand the implications of different policy choices on energy systems, emissions, and the economy.
What I do
I’ve worked with tools including GCAM (Global Change Assessment Model), REMIND, and worked on developing a IAM simulator called SIAMESE to build and analyse scenarios across a range of applications:
- Net-zero pathways — developing long-term decarbonisation roadmaps for countries and sub-national regions, including sector-by-sector analysis of how emissions reduction targets can be met
- Power sector planning — modelling the transition from fossil fuel-based electricity generation to renewable energy, including grid integration, stranded asset risk, and investment requirements
- Policy impact assessment — quantifying the effects of specific policies such as carbon pricing, renewable energy mandates, and subsidy reform on energy systems and emissions
- State-level modelling — India’s first detailed state-level energy model (GCAM-India), used to inform climate and energy policy at the sub-national level
Past work
- Developed net-zero scenarios for the states of Gujarat and Uttarakhand
- Contributed to India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) modelling
- Scenario development as part of the Reserve Bank of India’s Climate Risk Information System.
- Published modelling-based research in Environmental Research Letters, Nature Communications, and Nature Climate Change
Who I work with
Governments and state agencies, think-tanks, research institutions, financial regulators, and multilateral organisations.
