Aditya S. Kushwah, MS

Technical Project Manager
Calstart
San Jose, CA, United States

My name is Aditya Singh Kushwah. Currently, I am working as a Technical Project Manager at CALSTART's Innovative Mobility Team.

I'm interested in bridging the knowledge gap between establishing the techno-economic feasibility of fleet electrification and identifying an alternative to creating a business case/decarbonizing the economy for our community, environment, and the planet!

As an EV enthusiast, I specialize in developing data-driven models for advanced vehicle development and deployment, focusing on both heavy and light-duty transportation. As a Technical Project Manager at CALSTART, I develop statistical modeling under the innovative mobility team, including fleet electrification, multimodal transportation solutions, and clean refueling infrastructure for EVs and Hydrogen, leveraging powerful programming languages.

I have over seven years of professional experience managing EV development and manufacturing, specifically designing EV powertrains. My previous experience includes developing a feasibility study for the transition to zero-emission vehicles. My academic research focuses on the techno-economic modeling of distributed energy resources (DER), such as off-grid and grid-tied solar plus storage systems, load analysis, GHG inventory, energy modeling using tools like various tools such as NREL's SAM, REOPT, as well as life cycle and cost-benefit analysis of fuel transition.

With a Mechanical and Automation engineering background, I completed my master's in Environmental Systems, concentrating on Energy Technology and Policy, at Cal Poly Humboldt. I was awarded the Christina and Jack West Fellowship for Clean Energy Studies for two consecutive years during my studies. My master's thesis conducted a cost-comparative techno-economic feasibility study of converting conventional transit buses to a zero-emissions fleet using an EV/Hydrogen Fleet model-based approach. The goal was to identify a cost-effective option for the Humboldt Transit Authority to meet its net-zero emission goal by 2040.
