Anurag joined as a Programme Associate in the Sustainable Mobility team at the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW). He previously worked as a Project Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, where he worked on assessing urban freight patterns and developing an optimisation-based tool to reduce congestion, travel time, costs and emissions.

Anurag completed his PhD from IIT Roorkee, where his doctoral work focused on developing a GIS- based emission inventory for the transportation sector. During his PhD, he was also associated with capacity-building programmes on air quality management, and with projects on life-cycle emissions, inland water transport and sustainable transportation. Before his PhD, Anurag had teaching experience as an Assistant Professor (on contract) in the Department of Civil Engineering at the National Institute of Technology Raipur.

He completed his Bachelor of Engineering from Shri Shankaracharya Institute of Professional Management and Technology (SSIPMT), Raipur, followed by an M.Tech. from the National Institute of Technology Raipur. His research interests include sustainable transportation, vehicular emission inventories, spatial analysis of transportation emissions, air quality modelling and the environmental implications of emerging vehicle technologies.

Outside work, Anurag enjoys playing sports, particularly football, cricket, squash, snooker and 8-ball pool.
