Hi Everyone! My name is Aakanksha, and I recently completed my master’s in environmental engineering from the University of Ottawa. I was born and raised in India and did my bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering there. I have been living in Canada for the last three years. I have always been passionate about environment and sustainability, but it grew more when I was doing internships with Oil, dairy and textile companies in India. During my master’s, I worked with Enactus-uOttawa to develop sustainable solutions for the water crisis issue faced by indigenous communities across Canada. For my master’s thesis, I worked on Artificial Intelligence applications to predict industrial outfall discharges to mitigate effluents’ impacts on marine life. I believe, with the advancement of technology, sustainability should not be compromised. In fact, both can go hand in hand, and innovative technologies can help in sustainable development. I am passionate about learning more about sustainable AI, and finding solutions for issues related to ocean pollution, water conservation and air quality. Apart from this, I enjoy exploring new places, reading books and poems, watching stand-up comedies, photography and music. I am excited to work with you all and feel free to connect with me on, https://www.linkedin.com/in/aakanksha-jain19/ and https://www.instagram.com/aakanksha.19/
