Prior to my Ph.D., I held several roles across the energy and telecom sectors. I was a Data Scientist in the Applied Research division at British Telecom (BT)in the UK, where I led a project on consumer science. Ialso worked across pipeline and retail business units atBharat Petroleum in India.
I received my M.Sc. by Research in Innovation and my M.Sc. in Business Analytics, with a focus on Operations Research, from Lancaster University Management School, receiving Distinctions in both. At Lancaster University, I also served as a Research Fellow at the Centre for Global Eco-Innovation, where I worked at the crossroads of AI, energy, and the environment. I earned my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Patna, where I graduated top of my class and was awarded the Institute Gold Medal.
Outside of work, I am an avid follower of soccer, or European football, and an ardent fan of Manchester United and the Argentina National Team. I am also an urban photographer, with a particular interest in street photography.
