Shiddalingeshwar C Devihosur

Energy systems researcher and data scientist with a passion for developing analytical solutions that support the transition to a more sustainable energy future. My work combines data analytics, forecasting, and energy modelling to understand how energy systems evolve and provide insights that inform research, policy, and industry decisions.

With over seven years of experience in academia and applied research, I specialise in electricity demand forecasting, renewable energy integration, transport electrification, and long-term energy planning. My research focuses on developing predictive models using statistical methods to solve complex energy challenges and support evidence-based decision-making.

My expertise lies in time-series forecasting, statistical analysis, data visualisation, and large-scale energy data analytics. I enjoy transforming complex datasets into meaningful insights through reproducible research, intelligent forecasting models, and data-driven analysis.

I believe the future of energy lies at the intersection of engineering, artificial intelligence, and data-driven decision-making. Through my research and collaborations, I aim to develop practical solutions that improve energy efficiency, accelerate decarbonisation, and build more resilient energy systems.

Outside of research, I enjoy exploring emerging technologies, contributing to open scientific knowledge, and continuously expanding my expertise in artificial intelligence, energy systems, and sustainable infrastructure.
