My research is at the intersection of materials science, systems modelling, process engineering, and sustainability assessment. My work focuses on carbon capture and utilization (CCUS) through direct air capture (DAC), biomass-based carbon sequestration, scale-up of carbon capture technologies at low technology readiness levels, and integrated environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) of utilization pathways such as the production of sustainable aviation fuels.

I hold a PhD in Engineering, the European Engineer (Eur Ing) title, and the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. My professional background spans industry, academia, and national laboratories across Germany, Australia, and India. This cross-sector experience has shaped my perspective of R&D. I connect lab innovations, applied research, systems thinking, and project management inorder to translate emerging technologies into industrial applications.

My long-term goal is to develop international and collaborative R&D programs that accelerate the transition of emerging sustainable technologies from proof-of-concept stages to scalable industrial solutions.

Climate change has no geopolitcal borders; neither should the science that tackles it.
