What is your area of research and what project(s) are you working on now?
Hydrogen, batteries, technology integration, contaminants removal from O&G
What do you think are the challenges for equity/equality, diversity and inclusion in the energy research community in reaching netzero targets by 2050?
Its simple - my view of diversity and equality means keeping a balance of the eco system comparable of a jungle where there are no boundaries for all animals and birds to live and survive. The platform should be common and allow all types of human to function together and bring value. Who survives depends on the individual's potential and capability. Then again we are not animals - definitely we can do better!
What should a supportive, inclusive energy research community look like?
A jungle of animals living in harmony - can this fairy tale become true with our sixth sense in place?
What advice would you give to a young person considering a career in Energy Research?
Energy industry being the prime source for the world to function, loads of opportunities there to make it sustainable - meaning we need bright young brains looking into novel ways of attaining this sustainment simultaneously protecting our mother nature!
Fun question: If you had a magic wand, what is one thing you would change right now?
No war no geopolitics, sustained food and water for all!
