Ehina Srivastava

Ehina is passionate about renewable energy research and development, carbon management, and interactions between the built environment and broader biogeochemical systems to mitigate adverse effects of climate change. She is also interested in evaluating how policy can be used to support carbon containment and renewable adoption. In pursuit of this, she has worked in a variety of analyst roles, where she evaluated solar power adoption and battery energy storage systems (BESS). She has also worked in the decarbonization space as an energy systems engineer, where she evaluated and modeled various pathways for converting biomass to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). 

Ehina recently graduated from Cornell University magna cum laude, earning a Masters of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (2025), and Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering and minor in Sustainable Energy Systems (2024). While at university, Ehina’s research focused on wave energy converter (WEC)-based carbon sequestration. Her research combined wave energy modeling with geospatial observations to identify optimal saline aquifer locations for in-situ sequestration. In her free time, Ehina enjoys ballet, exploring cafes, reading, baking, and kathak– a form of classical North Indian dance.
