Amritanshu Pandey

Amritanshu develop computational methods and models for electrical energy systems with a real-world impact. His focus areas are sustainable smart cities, renewable integration, electric mobility, grid reliability and resilience, cybersecurity, and energy equity. In the past, Amritanshu (with his colleagues) developed a novel circuit-theoretic simulation and optimization framework for power grids. The project culminated in a new grid analytics tool: Simulation of Unified Grid Analysis and Renewables (SUGAR), which has since been commercialized at Pearl Street Technologies, Inc.

Infrastructure decarbonization requires integrated smart city technology deployment

Pandey argues that smart city infrastructure—specifically integrated AI-enabled systems across streetlights, connectivity, and buildings—simultaneously decarbonizes urban spaces while delivering co-benefits like public safety and community vitality. This multiplier effect positions connected infrastructure not as a luxury add-on but as a necessary foundation for modern urban decarbonization strategy.
