Hello and welcome! I’m an interdisciplinary scholar of social science and technology studies. I am passionate about exploring equitable and inclusive approaches to sustainable energy development, increasing climate resilience, and exploring the social impacts of digitization and algorithmic governance. You can find more about my research activities, publications, and projects in the hyperlinks.

In my last position at the Kautilya School of Public Policy, I contributed to the development and design of an innovative Master’s Program in Public Policy. I developed and taught courses on subjects ranging from public policy theory and practice, social policy, public health, and research methods. More about my teaching here.

In my previous roles, I have had the privilege of working with a range of public, private, and non-governmental organizations, including National Renewable Energy Technologies and ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability.

I hold a doctoral degree in Urban Planning and Public Policy from the University of Texas at Arlington, a Master’s Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Management from the University of Glasgow, UK, and a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Osmania University, India.
