Her current role as a researcher on the Housing Energy Efficiency Transitions (HEET) project, builds upon her PhD, which focused on the energy justice challenges faced by marginalised groups in Australia’s housing decarbonisation transition. Aside from project HEET, Ananya’s work as a researcher on a collaborative University of New South Wales-RMIT study, contributed to a better understanding of the global best practices in housing recovery after natural disasters.
Before joining RMIT, Ananya worked hands-on in the environmental and international development sectors in Australia, India, Canada, and the United States. Her work spanned coastal and renewable energy issues and policies, water and biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptations, and environmental justice for traditional communities.
Besides her PhD from RMIT, Ananya has an LL.M. in Environmental Law from the University of Melbourne, and an M.A. in Geography and International Development from the University of Guelph (Ontario, Canada).
