Minerva Singh
I’m a Cambridge PhD Data Scientist working at the intersection of AI, sustainability, and geospatial intelligence to solve real-world environmental and social challenges. At the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship (University of Oxford), I build AI pipelines and decision-support tools to unlock actionable insights from complex data. This includes developing NLP workflows and chatbot solutions for corporate ESG and CSR reporting, analyzing climate risks in coastal megacities, and mapping drivers of social impact and business resilience. My academic journey spans an MPhil from Oxford and a PhD from Cambridge, where I pioneered machine learning applications to quantify deforestation and biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. I combined satellite imagery, LIDAR, and ecological data to influence forest policy and conservation planning in Cambodia and the Philippines. Over the last decade, I’ve: Designed machine learning workflows to analyse global biodiversity risk. Created geospatial models to assess land cover and climate change impacts on agriculture and infrastructure (University of Cambridge, Imperial College London) Led NLP and AI-based research into corporate climate strategies and sustainable development trends (Imperial College London, Oxford University) Used R, Python, Google Earth Engine, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) to build scalable environmental models Developed computer vision solutions for canopy health, forest cover loss, and PDF/text extraction (Oxford University) Supported LLM and Langchain-based tools for ESG analysis and social impact tracking Advised governments, NGOs, and startups on integrating AI for nature-based solutions, climate adaptation, and risk financing Secured over £300,000 in funding as PI or co-PI, including the prestigious Imperial College Research Fellowship I work across sectors—academia, policy, private, and nonprofit—and enjoy translating deep technical insights into meaningful environmental outcomes.

Certifications & Professional Development My Story My journey has never fit into a single box. It has unfolded at the intersection of two worlds : business and caregiving, strategy and service, innovation and humanity. Long before AI ethics and executive consulting became central to my work, the realities of healthcare shaped me, supporting family members with disabilities and developing a deep understanding of what compassionate, consistent care truly demands. In many ways, caregiving was my first education in leadership. As I built my career in business, strategy, and technology, I never stepped away from healthcare; I carried it with me. I worked across both paths in tandem, designing strategic roadmaps and guiding organizations through digital transformation, while also managing complex care plans, advocating within healthcare systems, and completing advanced training through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the American Caregivers Association. These parallel experiences formed a unique foundation: analytical enough to navigate corporate structures, and human-centered enough to understand the weight of real-world impact. While academia often rewards specialization, my life required integration. My roles as consultant, strategist, educator, and caregiver each informed the rest. Supporting individuals in vulnerable moments taught me that leadership is never abstract; it is personal, relational, and deeply grounded in empathy. Working in AI and organizational strategy reinforced that systems must be built ethically and with intention, because real people live with the consequences. Today, my work bridges both worlds. I help leaders adopt ethical AI, strengthen organizational culture, and innovate responsibly, guided by the same principles I learned through caregiving: protect dignity, promote clarity, build structures that support people, and ensure that progress never comes at the cost of humanity. Every chapter of my life has led me to one conviction: When technical innovation and human compassion move together, we build a future that truly serves people.

Frequently asked questions
An AI agent is software powered by large language models that can act independently to complete tasks, make decisions, or interact with apps and data on behalf of a user.
Most AI tools respond only when prompted, but agents can take initiative, running workflows, calling APIs, or performing tasks automatically without constant human input.
Examples include customer support bots that resolve tickets, sales agents that qualify leads, and personal agents that schedule meetings or manage inboxes.
They combine natural language understanding, reasoning, and integrations with software systems (like CRMs or task managers) to analyze inputs and take actions.
Finance, marketing, healthcare, logistics, e-commerce, and HR all use AI agents to automate repetitive processes, reduce costs, and improve efficiency.
Yes. Advanced agents can prioritize, delegate, and manage multiple workflows simultaneously, similar to a digital operations assistant.
They’re trained on company-specific data, workflows, and rules so they align with brand standards and industry compliance.
Reactive agents only respond when asked, while proactive agents take initiative, such as reminding a team of deadlines or flagging anomalies in data.
They connect through APIs or automation tools, allowing them to pull data from CRMs, ERPs, or spreadsheets and act inside those systems.
Yes, with proper guardrails. Companies set permissions and rules so agents only act within approved boundaries, reducing risks of errors or misuse.
They eliminate repetitive manual work, freeing employees to focus on strategy, creativity, and high-value decision-making.
Autonomous AI agents can plan, reason, and execute tasks from start to finish with minimal supervision, for example, running entire research projects.
Yes. Many platforms offer plug-and-play AI agents that connect with tools like Slack, HubSpot, or Shopify, making automation accessible to small teams.
Risks include incorrect outputs, acting beyond intended scope, or security vulnerabilities if not properly monitored and restricted.
AI agents will evolve into digital teammates, collaborating with humans, coordinating tasks across apps, and continuously learning to handle more complex business operations.
