Shruti Jain

I am a PhD candidate in the School of Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford, and an Oxford-Reuben Scholar in Environmental Change at Reuben College. I explore the resilience and environmental impacts of global food systems. My research involves mapping food flow networks at subnational scales using predictive modelling, projecting future food flow networks under socio-economic pathways and dietary change scenarios, and estimating the environmental impacts of food supply chains. I am based in the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment cluster, and my research is supervised by Professor Sam Fankhauser and Dr Radhika Khosla.

I also work as a consultant with the World Bank’s LSMS Program on the 50x2030 Initiative to close the agricultural data gap in the developing world. Prior to my PhD, I served as Lead Agricultural Data Scientist at Atlas AI, a silicon-valley startup founded by Stanford University Professors David Lobell, Marshall Burke, and Stefano Ermon. I obtained a Masters in Public Policy from UC Berkeley, and a Bachelors in Electronics and Communication Engineering from IIT Roorkee.
