As a result, Dr. SIngh has coordinated multiple research projects across sectors (industry, academia, government, Indigenous communities, and non-profits) and countries (India, Canada, US), where she led research design, research execution, and communication (via peer-reviewed papers, reports, presentations, social media etc.). Outside of academia, Devyani has consulted on carbon markets and policy for New Forests Inc., and worked with the First Nations on non-timber forest products. In the past (until 2010), she also worked as a Senior Financial Analyst for various Fortune 200 companies after obtaining an MBA in Finance. However, inspired by the magnitude and importance of global climate change, she changed career paths and obtained an M.Sc. in Environmental Science, and a Ph.D. in Energy & Climate Policy. Devyani actively promotes engagement with policy makers and the public for evidence-based decision-making.
