AI governance research assistant at Oxford Dharma connecting Indian AI policy with Indian philosophy.

India
Message

At Oxford Dharma, I research AI safety policy and governance, including framework development, report drafting, and literature reviews. I’m also working to connect Indian AI policies with Indian philosophy.

At Mobility for Climate Policy, I translated climate mobility research into equity-centred policy proposals and led cross-functional collaboration on research projects supporting policy consultation.

At George Washington University, I mapped ideological network influence on Indian political discourse using qualitative thematic coding for a paper published by Springer. At the Global Centre for Energy and Environment, Ahmedabad University, I tracked green infrastructure policy claims against implementation and synthesized findings into an investigative report adopted as a research template.

My research spans climate epistemology, AI governance, and policy communication. I’ve also produced a documentary on urban heat island policy in Ahmedabad and created accessible presentations and infographics about climate research.
