I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Energy Research (CER) at the University of California San Diego, working with Prof. Patricia Hidalgo-Gonzalez. I obtained my M.S.E (2023) and Ph.D. (2023) from Johns Hopkins University under the supervision of Prof. Enrique Mallada and Prof. Dennice Gayme, and had the opportunity to collaborate with the Grid Operations and Planning team at the Electric Power Research Institute, under the guidance of Dr. Nikita Singhal and Dr. Erik Ela.

I completed my Bachelor’s degree (2016) at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, working with Prof. Arvind Kumar. Before Johns Hopkins, I worked as a Market Analyst at Credit Suisse investment bank in Mumbai, and I also interned in the Engine Systems Analysis group at General Electric Transportation. I have received the Northwestern-Argonne NAISE fellowship, the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) Overseas Doctoral Fellowship, and the Institute SSPC MCM scholarship.

I am on the faculty job market for 2024-2025.
