Ritwiz Sarma

Namaste! I’m a Research Associate at CAFRAL, a thinktank at the Reserve Bank of India. My interests span climate change, industrial policy, and infrastructure - with a broader goal of making policy more efficient and evidence-based. My work involves methods like remote sensing, NLP, and causal machine learning, powered by Python, R, QGIS, and STATA. I’ve previously built deep learning pipelines for legal text at XKDR Forum with Ajay Shah, and contributed to climate change research at the Energy Policy Institute at Chicago - India.
