Data and AI Solutions

The Data and AI Solutions group is a dedicated team focused on harnessing the power of data and artificial intelligence to create impactful solutions for clean energy transition, clean air, climate, environment and sustainability. We are committed to transforming complex data into useful information and actionable insights to address key challenges and shape outcomes.

Our Impact

AI-Powered Insights for a Sustainable Future

We manage the full lifecycle of data from collection, processing, storage, analysis to insights. We work with diverse datasets related to clean energy transition, air quality, climate, environment and sustainability, from different sources such as open data portals, sensor networks, satellite imagery, LiDAR, drones etc. We build data pipelines to clean, process, transform and manage data efficiently and ensure data quality & reliability. We apply data standards and access controls to maintain data integrity and compliance. We use various data analysis techniques and visualizations to extract meaningful insights from data. We use geospatial data and spatial analysis to integrate location-based intelligence into our solutions with maps of grid infrastructure, solar potential, emissions sources, pollutant concentrations, climate risk assessments etc. We apply advanced analytics and AI/ML to extract patterns & insights, automate tasks and build better products/solutions. We use an on-prem GPU and CPU cluster for training machine learning, deep learning and other analytical models for different tasks. As artificial intelligence techniques evolve, we continue to explore ways to build transparent and trustworthy solutions to equip internal and external stakeholders with the information and knowledge they need to make better decisions.

Contribution to the Grand Challenges

We provide digital solutions that enable researchers and other stakeholders to shape outcomes in clean energy transition, clean air and climate action for a secure, sustainable society. A few examples of the tools developed include Rooftop Solar Explorer to estimate solar potential of rooftop, AirNet to visualize air quality data & trends and Climate Risk and Vulnerability tool.
