I am an early-career researcher based in India working at the intersection of sustainability, energy transitions, and infrastructural governance. I hold a Master’s degree in Sustainable Development, and my work has engaged closely with the Indian energy sector, especially coal infrastructure and the political economy of low‑carbon transitions. I have worked with international research institutes, including the CICERO Centre for International Climate Research and the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), where I have contributed to collaborative projects and publications on climate policy, AI governance, and sustainability. In my recent research, I focus on how AI and data centres shape energy and water systems, examine the energy–water nexus, and connect these dynamics to national climate goals and AI sovereignty debates in India. I am also interested in the history of technology in energy systems, particularly how computing has structured past and present energy transitions, and I work on questions of justice, vulnerability, and adaptive capacity in urban and informal settlements. Through qualitative, field-based research combined with policy analysis, I aim to build a research agenda that supports more equitable and sustainable pathways for digital and energy infrastructures in the Global South.
