My Research
Current Research
1. Green AI & Sustainability
My current research focuses on AI-enabled Business Sustainability, especially the strategic adoption of Green AI practices in Indian organizations. I examine how companies can balance innovation with environmental responsibility through:
- Energy-efficient AI models
- Sustainable data processing
- Eco-friendly cloud infrastructure
- ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) compliance
- Responsible AI governance
- Cost optimization through sustainable AI systems
This work is also aligned with my ongoing Post-Doctoral Fellowship (2025–2027) in Applied Business Research, jointly offered by Dr. D.Y. Patil Education & Research Foundation (India) and Texas State University (USA). My goal is to create a practical framework that organizations can adopt to reduce the environmental impact of AI systems while maintaining operational efficiency.
2. AI in Education
I am actively researching how Generative AI affects students’ independent thinking, academic performance, and digital learning behaviour. My current review and conceptual papers explore:
- Cognitive impact of AI tools on student learning
- Decline in independent reasoning due to over-dependency
- Opportunities to use AI for constructive learning
- Strategies for faculty to integrate ethical AI use
- AI-supported assessment and feedback systems
This work contributes toward understanding how higher education institutions can adopt AI responsibly while preserving the integrity of learning outcomes.
