Ujjwal Bharadwaj
Manager, Asset Life Cycle Management
Ujjwal leads a team of experts developing bespoke decision support approaches and software to enable asset operators make optimum decisions based on a variety of criteria, particularly those leading to measurements of risk and life cycle sustainability. The types of decisions that Ujjwal and his team provide support for include when and where to inspect and how to optimise run, replace, life-extend or decommission decisions; this requires establishing the condition of the asset system, at times requiring the use of data analytics, including machine learning.

He is a risk management professional with more than 25 years of experience. He is a Chartered Engineer (CEng), with a Doctor of Engineering (EngD) degree from Loughborough University based on his work on approaches to risk-based life management of offshore structures and equipment. He read for an MSc in Risk Management from the London School of Economics (LSE) and a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in Electrical and Electronics engineering from Mangalore University, India.
