Research Mentor / Sustainability & Energy Analyst (AI, Energy, Climate, Economics)
We are looking for a researcher, sustainability analyst, energy consultant, climate-tech professional, or graduate-level mentor to collaborate with a highly motivated high school student from India on a structured research/project initiative. The student is exploring topics at the intersection of:

- presentation of findings
Possible project formats may include:
- research paper

- climate-tech case study
- AI + energy application
- dashboard or visualization
- literature review
- economic or sustainability modeling
Ideal candidates:
- Researchers or PhD/MS students
- Sustainability consultants
- Renewable energy analysts
- Climate-tech startup professionals
- ESG researchers
