I’m a climate finance researcher with a background spanning both academic and practical applications. My work focuses on climate and credit risk assessment, financial instrument design, and quantitative analysis. I’ve contributed to sustainable finance policy discussions and helped develop research projects in this field. I earned a PhD in finance, deepening my commitment to bridging academic insights with real-world sustainable finance solutions. I aim to connect rigorous academic research with practical solutions for climate finance challenges.
My Journey in Climate Finance
Over the past several years, I have steadily built my career at the intersection of academic research and practical financial analysis. My work focuses on exploring ways to support sustainable finance initiatives, addressing both climate and credit risks with careful analysis and thoughtful design.
Key Aspects of My Work:
Thoughtful Research & Analysis: I combine rigorous analytical methods with insights gathered from experiences in academic, policy, and financial settings. Projects have included work on developing models to understand market dynamics and assess the impact of various financial instruments in emerging sectors.
Collaborative Efforts: By working closely with diverse teams, I have contributed to crafting research proposals and concept notes that have helped secure funding for several key projects. This collaboration supports public consultation efforts and enriches discussions on sustainable finance.
Diverse, Practical Experience: My journey has taken me through roles in India and Australia, guiding projects that connect theoretical research with real-world applications. This range of experiences fosters a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in advancing clean energy investments.
Continuous Learning: Earning a PhD in finance with a focus on climate and applied finance has been an important step, reinforcing my commitment to continually refine my approach and contribute to sustainable financial practices.
This journey is an ongoing learning process, grounded in a commitment to translate detailed analysis into meaningful contributions toward building a low-carbon future. I invite you to explore how a balanced approach to research and collaboration can support steps toward sustainable finance.
