New cohort

Introducing the Fall 2026 Fellows.

Our newest cohort is just getting started. Here’s who’s joining.

Doğukan Güngör

FellowOpen to work
Fall 2026 · 3 monthsIndustrial energy efficiency and demand-side management
Istanbul Technical UniversityGraduate · Electrical Engineering · 2026

As an Electrical Engineer with a certificate in European Leadership for Sustainability Management, I specialize in electricity trading, portfolio optimization, and renewable asset management. My experience ranges from complex electromagnetic analysis of induction motors to optimizing carbon credits and renewable generation. I am driven by the belief that true sustainability requires translating granular technical data into large-scale, systemic market solutions.

Vivaan Madhok

FellowOpen to work
Fall 2026 · 3 monthsBlended finance and de-risking for energy transition in developing economies
Columbia UniversityGraduate · Master in Public Administration · 2028
London School of Economics and Political Science Graduate · Master in Public Administration · 2027
Ashoka UniversityUndergraduate · Economics and Finance · 2021

Vivaan Madhok is a dual-degree Master of Public Administration candidate at the London School of Economics and Columbia University, concentrating in Climate, Energy and Environment. He most recently worked at the World Bank Group's Energy and Extractives Global Practice, and was selected as one of six Climate Investment Funds Youth Fellows worldwide, working on renewable energy and blended finance programmes across small island developing states. That work taught him that the binding constraint in these markets is rarely capital itself, but the weak institutional capacity and absent de-risking structures that keep capital from ever arriving. Sustainability matters to him because the countries that contributed least to the problem will bear the most of it, and whether they can build their way through it turns on questions of financial design, which is exactly where he wants to do his work.

Tran Anh Tho

FellowOpen to work
Fall 2026 · 3 monthsSustainable Energy
Foreign Trade UniversityUndergraduate · Business English · 2024

I am a sustainability professional currently working on energy efficiency and decarbonization in the manufacturing sector in Vietnam. My journey has gradually taken me from youth-led environmental work and policy to a more direct focus on energy transition and corporate sustainability.

Yunxi Shen

FellowOpen to work
Fall 2026 · 3 monthsClimate mitigation and biodiversity
Imperial College LondonGraduate · Environmental Technology · 2026

I believe in using science, tech, and policy for the good of people and the planet.

Ahmet Eren Çimen

FellowOpen to work
Fall 2026 · 3 monthsSustainable Technology & Intelligent Systems
Yildiz Technical UniversityUndergraduate · Electrical Engineering · 2028

I am an Electrical Engineering student, interested in the intersection of intelligent technologies, engineering, and entrepreneurship. I am driven by the challenge of understanding complex systems and turning them into practical solutions with long-term impact. Sustainability matters to me because future technologies should not only be innovative and scalable, but also resource-efficient, resilient, and responsible across their full lifecycle.

Kshitij Tyagi

FellowOpen to work
Fall 2026 · 3 monthsAI and quantitative modelling for climate resilience and sustainable systems
University of SouthamptonUndergraduate · Mathematics · 2027

I am a mathematics and machine learning researcher interested in using quantitative methods to understand complex systems and improve real-world decision-making. I am particularly drawn to sustainability because climate and resource challenges sit at the intersection of technology, economics, and society, where interventions can create wide-ranging second-order effects. Through the fellowship, I hope to explore how modelling and AI can help identify more effective and resilient pathways toward sustainable growth.

Vidhi Gaur

FellowOpen to work
Fall 2026 · 3 monthsCarbon markets and MRV, with a focus on methane mitigation in livestock and climate finance for underserved sectors.
Amity University, Noida, IndiaGraduate · Environmental Science · 2023

I'm a climate tech entrepreneur and carbon markets specialist driven by one conviction: that carbon finance, built on genuine measurement and technology that works on the ground, can unlock climate action at a scale we haven't seen yet. As Co-Founder & Director of Carbon at eVerse.AI, I lead methane mitigation programmes covering over 20 million animals under Verra VM0041, building the MRV systems and market infrastructure that make credible carbon credit generation possible in sectors and geographies existing infrastructure has left behind. Sustainability matters to me because it sits at the intersection of hard science and real economic justice, and I've seen how the right combination of the two can change outcomes for entire communities. I'm working toward a carbon market where every tonne is real, every claim is traceable, and every dollar of climate finance reaches the people who need it most. I hold an ISO 14064 certification, am a Terra.do Fellow for Climate Action, and am a Gold Medalist in Environmental Sciences from Amity University.

Carbon markets and MRV, with a focus on methane mitigation in livestock and climate finance for underserved sectors.
An AI-powered digital twin for hard-to-abate sectors in India, identifying emission hotspots and helping with CCTS compliance.

This project builds a software-based digital twin for hard-to-abate industrial sectors in India, using AI to model facility-level emissions and pinpoint hotspots across production processes. It takes a gate-to-gate approach, mapping emissions intensity at each stage within the facility boundary, allowing for precise identification of high-impact intervention points on the shop floor. The output is designed to directly support compliance under India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), helping obligated entities track their emissions trajectory, benchmark against sector targets, and identify credit generation or purchase needs ahead of compliance deadlines.

Marion Munini Muli

FellowOpen to work
Fall 2026 · 3 monthsCommunity protection though supply chain accountability.
Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology Undergraduate · Community Development and Environment · 2023

​I am a Kenyan community development and sustainability professional. My work mostly focuses on ensuring that communities are protected from destructive corporate practices. I achieve this by raising awareness on how companies can integrate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices into their operations to secure continuous social acceptance in the areas where they work. What drives my work is the hope that if sustainability considerations are embedded into business models, local communities will be safeguarded. Sustainability matters to me because I want to live in a world that stops selfishly taking from the planet, shifting instead toward a mindful approach, one where we reduce our negative impacts or eliminate them entirely.

FellowOpen to work
Fall 2026 · 3 monthsSustainability Consulting & Advisory | ESG & GHG Accounting
Bharathiar UniversityGraduate · Environmental Science · 2021
PSG College of Arts and ScienceUndergraduate · Biotechnology · 2019

I am a sustainability professional with around four years of experience in sustainability consulting, GHG accounting, ESG reporting, and product development, with a growing interest in sustainable finance and the circular economy. My work is driven by finding practical ways for businesses to reduce their environmental impact while creating meaningful value for both the business and its customers. Sustainability matters to me because I believe businesses should enable customers to make choices with confidence—knowing that the products they purchase are designed and produced with minimal harm to the environment.
