For her research, Divya received assistance from Professor Ravi Babu of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University. Divya said, “Having shown exemplary interest in electrical engineering at an early age, I started writing my own research analysis about normal domestic appliances such as a fuse when I was child and then went on to join engineering and won approval for the quality research from first year itself.”

Prof. D N Reddy, Vice Chancellor, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, said that Divya had been a keen observer of the latest developments in the power sector and she wrote her first research paper at the age of sixteen.

Till date, Divya’s work has been published in 16 national and international publications and there are seven more in the pipeline.
