Biography

Growing up in North Carolina and visiting my family’s small farm in India, I witnessed how disasters driven by climate change, such as drought, flooding, and hurricanes, can devastate communities. I grew interested in understanding both the science behind climate change and the incentives that shape decisions around climate change, leading me to study two disciplines at Harvard: Environmental Science & Engineering and Economics. Through research on climate change’s impacts on agriculture, leading the Harvard Undergraduate Clean Energy Group, and working on cement decarbonization at the Rocky Mountain Institute, I explored creative ways that scientists, policymakers, and businesspeople can work together to make sustainable innovations easier to access. At Cambridge, I plan to study industrial policies that accelerate green manufacturing innovation and support emerging clean technology markets.I am truly honored to be a part of the Gates-Cambridge community, and I’m excited to engage with a diverse cohort of scholars working across disciplines!
