Sathvik Gadiraju

I'm Sathvik Gadiraju, currently pursuing a Master's degree in Transport Infrastructure and Logistics at Delft University of Technology. Since March 2025, I've been working as an intern at Panteia, as part of my graduate thesis project. I decided to join Panteia because it provided me with valuable experience of working at a research consulting firm. My internship focuses on the area of transport modeling, where I'm currently developing an approach to identifying and ranking critical links within transportation networks. The project's core objective is to equip urban planners with insights for creating effective mitigation strategies that improve network resilience during potential disruptions. What makes this project particularly compelling is its direct real-world applicability. While the initial project brief was somewhat open-ended, I've been granted considerable autonomy to shape the research direction. This flexibility, combined with the exceptional mentorship I'm receiving, has been beneficial for my professional growth. Just a few weeks into my internship, I've already engaged in discussions with colleagues working on diverse projects, enriching my understanding of transport infrastructure research.
