AI governance • Data quality • Sustainable innovation
I work at the intersection of data governance, AI accountability, and sustainable development. I believe technology creates lasting value when it strengthens institutions, expands access to learning, and supports the well-being of people and the planet.
I work in the fields of data governance, AI accountability, and sustainable development. I focus on how digital systems can strengthen institutions, improve learning access, and support the long-term well-being of people and the planet.
I grew up in Surat and Mumbai, where early experiences in film and media taught me to understand people and their lived realities. That sensitivity continues to guide how I design, teach, and build systems today. Over time, my interest in people and behaviour evolved into a broader focus on how data, decisions, and digital tools shape everyday life.
My work naturally aligns with global development goals. My research on responsible AI and data quality contributes to SDG 9 for innovation and SDG 16 for strong institutions, where I explore transparency, governance, and trust in digital environments. Through The Wake Project, I work toward SDG 4 for quality education and SDG 10 for reduced inequalities by improving access to career guidance and learning opportunities for young people.
I have published my academic work with Springer, Wiley, and CRC Press, and it has reached more than one thousand readers worldwide. My community work has supported over two hundred students and families through free learning and guidance programs. My current interests span ethical AI, data governance, climate-focused analytics, and inclusive digital systems.
My long-term goal is to help shape technologies and institutions that are fair, inclusive, and future-ready. I continue to build research frameworks and community initiatives that support both human and planetary well-being.

A visualization and analytics project connecting emissions, renewables, and climate targets across the region. Ranked in the top ten percent at the UNB Data Challenge 2024. Demonstrates how clear storytelling can support SDG 13 (Climate Action).
View Infographic →Early works established secure architectures for cloud and cyber-physical systems, focusing on insider threat prevention and infrastructure resilience. These studies strengthened digital trust at scale and align with SDG 16: Strong Institutions.
These studies diagnose why AI systems fail and propose structured assessment methods to build transparency and reliability, supporting SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.
Recent frameworks such as the 4S and FSM-DQA models advance measurable governance for AI and data quality. They provide practical pathways for responsible innovation, aligned with SDG 4: Quality Education and SDG 16: Strong Institutions.
Beyond research and technology, my purpose is to enable access, equity, and awareness. These initiatives reflect how I translate knowledge into tangible social and community impact.
