About

I am a Ph.D. researcher in Electrical Engineering at the University of Vermont, working in the GOAL LAB under the supervision of Dr. Amritanshu Pandey. My research develops mathematical models, optimization algorithms, and AI-driven tools that make power grids smarter, cleaner, and more resilient.

My work spans the full stack of power systems engineering — from circuit-level inverter modeling to system-wide hosting capacity analysis — with a particular focus on enabling high penetrations of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as rooftop solar.

Beyond the lab, I founded Greentechmag.com, a global platform advancing public access to insights on green innovation and sustainable engineering. I also serve as Chief Technical Adviser at PAWATANK, guiding the design of solar-powered, NFC-enabled charging infrastructure for underserved communities in Africa.

My journey spans four institutions across three continents, giving me a global perspective on the energy challenges — and opportunities — facing the world today.
