Top SchoolPriya Donti is an Assistant Professor at MIT EECS & LIDS and the Silverman Family Career Development Professor who builds physics-informed and constraint-aware machine learning systems for forecasting, optimization, and control of high-renewables power grids. Co-founder and Chair of Climate Change AI, she bridges academic research, policy engagement, and global community-building to accelerate ML-driven climate solutions. Her work blends deep learning with domain constraints and decision-focused methods, informed by industry stints at DeepMind and consulting for grid operators. A recipient of MIT Technology Review’s “35 Innovators Under 35” and the ACM SIGEnergy Dissertation Award, she combines top-tier research training with practical deployments.
