Grantham Alumni is a network of current and former students, fellows and academic staff all affiliated to Grantham through their Master’s programme, PhD or career. We offer opportunities for our alumni to stay connected to the world-class research, policy and innovation activities of the Institute as well as staying connected to each other.

Dr Sanjeevani Panditharatne

Research Fellow, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting

Research Postgraduate at the Grantham Institute from 2021 to 2025. 

"One of the caveats that come with doing any PhD is the narrowing of your field to one particular specialty. However, as a part of the Grantham Institute, I saw work exploring everything from solar cells to badger conservation, which helped me to see my work as a part of the bigger picture."

Graduated from the MSc Cleantech Innovation in 2025.

"...The design engineering and startup context enabled me to contribute through transferable skills and a problem-solving approach, rather than relying on prior domain-specific knowledge. This is a rare opportunity allowing me to develop myself as a generalist".
