Summary
Anjuli Figueroa is a multidisciplinary leader in sustainability and water resources with 11 years of experience combining technical research, policy implementation, and program leadership across academia, government, and NGOs. She holds a PhD from MIT and has built advanced modeling, data assimilation, and remote sensing toolkits (Python, Matlab, GIS, Google Earth Engine) to interrogate the food-water-energy nexus and inform land and water management in diverse settings from India to the Middle East. At the DOE she translated Justice40 policy into data products, dashboards, and evaluation tools, and now directs university-wide climate and justice initiatives at the University of Michigan. Comfortable moving between granular model development and high-level stakeholder engagement, she regularly bridges science, policy, and community partners to measure and accelerate institutional impact. Anjuli’s uncommon mix of systems optimization, machine learning–informed surrogate models, and hands-on implementation gives her a practical edge in turning complex research into actionable climate and equity outcomes.
