Aritra Chakrabarty is a PhD student at Michigan Technological University (MTU) in the Environment and Energy Policy (EEP) program. Aritra's research focuses on social sustainability of renewable energy in the Global South, and his work is based on Gender and Energy Transitions.

As a public policy researcher, my research is situated in energy and environment policies. My work is based on the integration of gender, energy and development. It focuses on energy policy at community scale and Just energy transition in the Global South. My expertise lies in the renewable energy sector, specifically research and analysis, project management, and program design. My research and work experience has been shaped by design thinking that exists as local knowledge in communities. My work took me to remote communities and interactions, consultations with them shaped my work outcomes because they had a design of their material life which is important for functioning. Design thinking, and ultimately design impacts our daily lives more than we can imagine. It is only natural that we do it consciously.
