“How can AI be used to combat climate change and save the natural world?” I first thought about this as an undergraduate computer science student, conducting research for both ETH Zurich and Cambridge. I studied AI’s role in the transition to clean energy and the adoption of distributed solar production technologies in residential housing.It is my mission to fully leverage the potential applications of AI in the fight against climate change. I will explore how the predictive capabilities, reliability, and multi-variable pattern recognition power of AI can be used to preserve and protect the natural world. My academic focus is informed by my initiatives in sustainable development, notably, employing my ongoing research into the provision of solar energy to schools in Indonesia. As a global ambassador for AI’s potential in environmental protection, I aim to aid economies in their transition into a greener future, actively participate in informing policy-making, and encourage greater cooperation between academia and industry leaders. The possible impacts and applications of my research, and its ability to inspire future generations to fight for a better world, make me incredibly excited to pursue my Ph.D.
