<p>I wish to join NICMAR University, Pune as an Assistant Professor in Sustainable Energy Management. My academic background and research interests in energy systems, techno-economic assessment, and sustainability assessment align closely with the desired qualifications for the advertised position.</p>
<p>My doctoral work involved the development of a dynamic methodology for quantifying the long-term impacts of fossil fuel depletion. The key contribution of my research was the integration of system dynamics modelling with life cycle assessment based quantification. My thesis proposed a novel method to consider discounted environmental and economic impacts due to resource depletion in future. The methodology was demonstrated for two regional case studies considering natural gas as the depleting resource. This research work required me to integrate aspects of sustainability, systems engineering, dynamic modelling, and process engineering.</p>
<p class="MsoHeader"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">My research interests are interdisciplinary in nature. I am primarily interested in solving sustainability-related problems by using systems approach. Such problems are often multiscale in nature and can be better addressed using systems analysis.&nbsp;</span>I believe this systems perspective is relevant to NICMAR, where energy decisions go hand in hand with infrastructure development. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I also believe that the</span> industrial ecosystem in Pune creates opportunities for collaborative research and for consultancy work.</p>
