Ranjitha Shivaram is a dedicated Doctoral Student and Satre Family Fellow at Stanford University, where she is making significant strides in the field of urban energy modeling. Her research focuses on the complexities of urban decarbonization, particularly the electrification of building and transportation systems. Ranjitha's work is not only technically rigorous but also deeply committed to equity in energy access, ensuring that marginalized communities are considered in the transition to sustainable energy solutions. Her doctoral thesis, titled "Turbulence during Transition: Understanding How Urban Energy Systems Can Adapt to Natural and Manmade Stressors during the Clean Energy Transition," explores the resilience of urban infrastructures in the face of climate change and other stressors.
As an Infrastructure Researcher prior to her doctoral studies, Ranjitha honed her analytical skills and gained valuable insights into urban services and public policy. Her experience has equipped her with a robust toolkit for qualitative research, enabling her to assess the socio-economic impacts of energy transitions on diverse populations. Ranjitha's expertise in AutoCAD and architecture further enhances her ability to visualize and model urban energy systems effectively.
Recognized for her contributions to the field, Ranjitha has received several prestigious awards, including the Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship and the MIT Tata Fellowship. These accolades underscore her commitment to advancing knowledge in urban energy systems and her potential to influence policy and practice in sustainable urban development. With a strong foundation in research and a passion for equitable energy solutions, Ranjitha Shivaram is poised to be a leading voice in the future of urban energy resilience.
