Shonali Pachauri

Shonali Pachauri is research group leader of the new Transformative Institutional and Social Solutions (TISS) research group, in the Energy, Climate, and Environment (ECE) program at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria. She served as acting director of the Transitions to New Technologies (TNT) program and senior research scholar with the Energy (ENE) program before this. She has also served as adjunct professor at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, where she taught graduate courses during the Fall semester of 2016.

Dr. Pachauri's research focuses on the role of technological, institutional, and social innovations for inclusive human development, particularly for those people without access to basic infrastructures and services. She coordinates and leads research on analyzing heterogeneities in energy and infrastructural access and use in the developing world, policy pathways for achieving universal access to modern energy services and technologies and assessing the wider impacts of this for sustainable development. She has published extensively on these topics, both in the form of scientific peer-reviewed articles and policy reports.

Dr. Pachauri is a lead author for the IPCC WGIII AR6 report and was coordinating lead author for the Global Energy Assessment (GEA). She serves on the science advisory panel for the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), and on the advisory group for the International Network on Gender & Energy (ENERGIA). She is also on the editorial advisory boards for the journals Environmental Research Letters, Current Research in Environmental Sustainability, Economics of Energy & Environmental Policy and Global Environmental Change. She holds a PhD from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich (ETHZ) and an MSc from University College London (UCL).
