Deepthi Swamy is a researcher working on policy and implementation issues in the renewable energy and electricity sectors in developing countries. Her broad interest lies in the design of innovative mechanisms for clean energy transitions and sustainable growth.
She has previously worked as a research scientist at the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP), an Indian public policy think tank. Here she worked on national and state-level studies to examine supply and demand-side strategies for power sector planning and supportive policies for renewable energy development. She was specifically involved in potential assessment studies of on-shore wind power and evaluation of regulatory frameworks for achieving national wind targets.
Her work has been published in technical reports, academic book chapters, conference proceedings, newspapers and online policy discussion platforms. She earned a master’s degree in Engineering Management from Cornell University.
Her current research is focused on applications of a systems approach to synthesize insights on complexities in the implementation of clean energy transitions. At ISEP, Deepthi seeks to contribute evidence-based research on issues of policy relevance in the energy sector in India.
