Hi there! I’m Sivapriya (Priya) Mothilal Bhagavathy, and I’m passionate about both my professional journey and my hobbies.

Professional Side

As a R&D Leader at PNDC, a unique innovation hub, I thrive on accelerating the development and deployment of novel energy and transport technologies. My role involves leading and delivering a diverse portfolio of technical research and innovation projects with a special focus on whole energy systems and experimental validation. My expertise lies in a whole-system approach to decarbonizing the energy sector, encompassing electricity, heat, and transport.

With over a decade of experience in the energy transition, I bridge the gap between technology, regulation, and policy. My work spans a wide range of topics, including the energy transition, government intervention, electric mobility, demand-side response, renewable energy integration, and heat decarbonization.

Bridging energy innovation with personal passion, I bring enthusiasm to my research and joy to my hobbies, from leading hydrogen projects to crafting and gardening.

Personal Side

When I’m not diving into the world of energy systems, you can find me pursuing my hobbies. I love gardening, painting, cardmaking, crocheting, and crafting. These creative outlets bring me immense joy and help me unwind. Recently, I’ve transitioned from reading physical books to listening to audiobooks, which has significantly increased the number of books I can enjoy. 📚

I’m a mom to a wonderful teenager, and we have a lot of fun exploring new hobbies and activities together. In the kitchen, I enjoy cooking up a storm, though I must admit, I’m less enthusiastic about the cleanup! 🍳

Blogging with a Personal Touch

My goal with this page is to share my insights and experiences in a way that resonates with both professionals and enthusiasts. I want to make regular blogging more accessible and enjoyable, so you can expect a mix of deep dives into energy topics and lighter posts about my personal life and hobbies. Whether it’s a detailed analysis of the latest energy trends or a fun update on my latest craft project, I hope to create content that is both informative and relatable.

Thank you for visiting my page, and I look forward to connecting with you!
