Paulina Pavez Verdugo is a doctoral candidate in Social Sciences at Universidad de Chile (ANID doctoral fellowship), with a thesis examining agrarian counter-reform, agribusiness, and extractive violence in the Aconcagua Valley in central Chile (1980–2021), with a focus on land and water rights dispossession and its gendered effects on rural women's body-territory.

I bring together business, research and policy by working at the edge of what energy systems can become, developing next-generation energy-storage technology synthesised from industrial waste, rare-earth-free and pushing new limits, through DevAnanta R&D Private Limited, a deep-tech startup I founded with collaborators and supporters spanning NUS, IITKanpur, IIT Madras, IITDharwad, ARCI, and the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre, Manchester. My background runs through Indian Space Research Organisation and Mercedes-Benz R&D India.
