The Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA’s Women in Energy initiative invites you to a student roundtable with Dr. Amrita Sen, Founder and Director of Market Intelligence at Energy Aspects. This small, interactive discussion will focus on the future of energy through a company- and client-facing lens, drawing on Dr. Sen’s experience building and leading a global energy analytics firm.
Conversation topics will include major trends shaping the energy sector, with particular attention to power markets and energy strategy, as well as how market intelligence informs decision-making for companies, investors, and policymakers. Dr. Sen will also reflect on her career path and share practical advice on playing to your strengths, understanding what skills matter most, and knowing where to deepen expertise versus where to collaborate.
Students will have the opportunity to ask questions, engage directly with an industry leader, and gain insight into careers at the intersection of energy markets, strategy, and client-facing work.
This roundtable is open only to Columbia University students. Space is limited, and lunch will be served.
