Ritwiz Sarma

Namaste! I’m a Research Associate at CAFRAL, a thinktank at the Reserve Bank of India. I’m interested in climate change, industrial policy, and infrastructure. My work involves methods like remote sensing and natural language processing (NLP). Previously: I spent a summer building 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.
