Summary
Raghav Pant is a Senior Research Associate at the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford, with over 14 years of academic and professional experience in climate risk, resilience and infrastructure network modelling. He leads risk and resilience research for the EPSRC-funded Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium and co-founded Oxford Infrastructure Analytics Ltd to turn novel methods into practical tools for climate-resilient infrastructure. Raghav has shaped national policy and major projects—providing first-of-their-kind interdependent network analyses used by the National Infrastructure Commission, the UK Treasury, the World Bank, and informing guidelines for HS2—backed by roughly £1.37M in awarded grants and contracts. His work blends systems thinking, spatial Python programming and big-data analysis to prioritize adaptation investments across multi-modal transport and utility networks. Notably, his methodological innovations earned the 2016 Lloyds Science of Risk Prize and recognition in Oxford’s Vice-Chancellor Innovation Awards, reflecting a rare mix of theoretical rigor and high-impact stakeholder engagement.
