Summary
Gitanjali Bhattacharjee is a managing engineer in New York with 11 years of experience developing probabilistic risk assessment and mitigation strategies for regional infrastructure networks under uncertain hazards. At Exponent she leads resilience analyses for electric and gas utilities—quantifying climate change impacts, multi-hazard exposures, and environmental justice considerations for systems like roads, pipelines, and grids. Her Stanford PhD work produced scalable seismic-risk mitigation methods for transport networks and brought a people-centered perspective to network management. Comfortable spanning research, fielded engineering, and user-facing design, she previously built global hazard models and loss-estimation features at Temblor and served on high-profile structural projects early in her career. She combines deep probabilistic and computational expertise with practical implementation experience in industry consulting. Colleagues describe her as both methodical and creative—able to translate complex uncertainty into actionable mitigation plans.
