About

I am a Research Fellow in Transportation Engineering at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, and serve as Research Staff Representative (2025/26) on the School of Engineering Executive and Research Committees.

My research focuses on human behaviour in complex transport and energy systems. I develop integrative frameworks combining econometric modelling, machine learning, causal inference, and energy–transport systems analysis to study activity–travel and energy-related decision-making.

I have secured over €1.35 million in competitive research funding. I am Co-Investigator on an EPA Ireland project, Integrated Grid Resilience for Infrastructure Sustainability & Emergencies (2026–2028), and Co-Principal Investigator on an SEAI RD&D grant, Causal Inference for Resilient Cities and Urban Integrated Transport (2026–2030).

I hold a PhD in Transportation Engineering from Imperial College London (2023), an MSc from the University of Texas at Austin, and a BTech from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.

I am an Imperial College Global Fellow and Turing Scheme awardee (2022), having conducted research at the Technical University of Munich. I have also held the Dixon Scholarship, Wellcome Trust Scholarship, Texas District Student Fellowship, and a graduate fellowship at UT Austin.
