### Team  #### Project Owner / Creator: [SUKANYA MANDAL]  As an experienced engineer with nearly a decade of expertise in data and AI systems, applications, and product development, I have consistently contributed to advancing the fields of data engineering, knowledge engineering, privacy-preserving ML/AI, team leadership, and technology strategy. My extensive career has equipped me with the skills and insights necessary to lead innovative projects that address critical challenges in these areas. I have developed and led several blockchain-oriented projects, including decentralized applications (dApps) focused on decentralized identity. These projects have demonstrated my ability to harness blockchain technology to create secure, privacy-preserving solutions that address real-world problems.  With my extensive experience in data and AI projects, I have increasingly looked to blockchain as a means to enable more privacy-preserved applications. My recent research has highlighted several significant gaps, inspiring the development of a proof-of-concept platform designed to enable secure and private data sharing among smart grids using blockchain and privacy-preserving machine learning. This platform represents a pivotal innovation with the potential to significantly impact the climate solutions landscape. By facilitating secure and private data sharing, it contributes directly to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Affordable and Clean Energy, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Climate Action, and Partnerships for Sustainable Development.  Our project not only addresses the need for advanced privacy-preserving technologies in smart grid data sharing but also positions itself as an essential infrastructure for Web3 climate solutions. By integrating blockchain and privacy-preserving machine learning, we provide a robust framework that supports Renewable Energy initiatives and enhances Climate Adaptation/Climate Resilience, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Given my background and the project's alignment with the grant's focus on proven climate solutions, I am confident in my ability to lead this initiative to success. Our project showcases the real-world impact necessary for this grant, offering a transformative approach to secure data sharing and climate resilience.  **Socials**: - LinkedIn: [[sukanyamandal](https://in.linkedin.com/in/sukanyamandal)]  ---
