About Kartikeya

Kartikeya Singh, born in Jodhpur, India, moved to South Bend, Indiana in 1993 and has been a resident of Greenville, South Carolina since 2001. A graduate of Furman University, he designed his own major titled "Ecology & Sustainable Development" (BSc.). This interdisciplinary major allowed him to study phyto-remediation in Puerto Rico, marine ecosystems in Belize, wildlife management in South Africa and Kenya, and water issues in India. During this last year on Compton Mentor Fellowship, he conducted research on decentralized renewable energy sources for rural areas in India. An unexpected result of being part of the SustainUS Bali delegation was his being a founding member of the Indian Youth Climate Network of which he is now Executive Director. This year Kartikeya will be formalizing this rapidly expanding network (and also ensuring that an Indian youth delegation finds itself in Poland) with the hopes to start his Masters in Environmental Management at Yale in the fall of 2009.
