She is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Advanced Study of India at the University of Pennsylvania. Radhika's work examines the productive tensions between urban transitions, energy services and climate change, with a focus on developing country cities. Her research focuses on examining the socio-technical drivers and patterns of changing energy consumption in urbanizing cities, and the forms of governance that characterize urban responses to climate change in such rapidly developing cities. Radhika's previous affiliations include the Centre for Policy Research, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the MIT Energy Initiative.
