S.A. Gavade (Sharada Atul)

I am an EngD candidate in Humanitarian Engineering within the Department of Design, Production and Management at the University of Twente. My work focuses on occupational health and safety challenges in sewer infrastructure maintenance, particularly the integration of AI, robotics, and UAVs as part of the European consortium AI:Liner.

I hold an MSc in Management of Technology from Delft University of Technology, where I was a Justus & Louise van Effen Excellence Scholar, and a BTech in Mechanical Engineering from Sardar Patel College of Engineering, graduating as a Silver Medallist. My master’s thesis examined the factors influencing the adoption and implementation of occupational health and safety standards. I have also published research on multicriteria decision-making in sustainable supply chains in the Journal of Supply Chain Management Science.

Before joining the EngD programme, I worked on international innovation and digital transformation projects across the automotive, pharmaceutical, and consumer appliances sectors.
