Khushbu is an Environmental Engineer with over 5 years of experience in academia, specialising in teaching subjects such as hydrology, solid waste management, water and wastewater treatment, remote sensing, and GIS to engineering undergraduates. Currently pursuing her PhD in Environmental Engineering, her research focuses on water security and the lakes of Bengaluru.
She has successfully completed two government-funded (ISRO, Govt. of India & VGST, Govt. of Karnataka) water-related research projects. This experience has exposed her to the challenges of data scarcity, gaps in data collection, and limited transparency in data sharing within the environmental sector of the city. The question of “Why is data not available for citizens or researchers?” has consistently driven her to seek solutions.
Over the years, Khushbu’s dedication to conserving the environment has remained steadfast. Her commitment is reflected in her continuous efforts to comprehend critical environmental challenges, propose practical solutions, and actively engage in on-ground projects and site visits.
She is curious, loves to read, and recently started learning Kathak.
Khushbu is joining us as a full-time Researcher and Curator.
