I am an architect with specialization in Building Science and Environmental Design. I have worked on various architectural and building energy simulation projects in India and UAE. I am keen on Researching and applying the research findings, especially in the Energy and Environment space, for benefit of the built environment and society in turn.
I am very keen on writing technical research papers and journals. I have presented and published research papers in national and international conferences and Journal. I have won the “Best Paper Award” in the Low Energy Architecture Sessions of the World Renewable Energy Conference 2010, Abu Dhabi. As a hobby, I enjoy giving lectures at different architectural colleges and universities in order to give back to the architectural fraternity by training the new breed of architects.
I have recently been selected to represent India, for a rare scholarship program SICRISA (Support to Improve Climate Research and Information Services for South Asian Countries). This scholarship program is supported by IDS (Institute of Development Studies), U.K. and TERI (The Energy Research Institute), India amongst other international organizations. Some of the papers published from these writing workshops, will feed into a special edition journal on Climate Change Research in South Asian Countries for the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change).
Apart from my interests in energy efficiency in buildings and Built Environment Research, I am an artist at heart. I am also a trained Kathak dancer for 14 years during childhood, and have performed on Television (Doordarshan), apart from singing at the All India Radio.edit
