My work explores various facets of sustainability transitions pertaining to policy, politics, and governance (focusing on energy and agriculture sectors) by employing concepts and insights from disciplines such as STS, policy studies, transition theory, and political science. Some of my research focus areas include understanding interplay between technological change, policy, and politics; sociotechnical imaginaries; comparative environmental and energy politics; policy evolution, design, and feedback; and social movements, justice, and politics of energy and environment.
