Core Faculty
Anjali’s work aims to inform just and equitable policies for a low-carbon world. Her current research examines whether and how electric vehicles can worsen health inequities across different geographies and social groups. Anjali’s research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, including Energy Policy, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Review, and Energy for Sustainable Development.
In the classroom, she invites her students to evaluate and design strategies for clean energy transition in a just manner. She encourages students to analyse the challenges developing countries face in pursuing low-carbon development in particular.
