Principal, MWB Engineering; MS, Electrical Engineering, NYU

Sajip is a highly accomplished principal electrical engineer who specializes in sustainable building practices, energy-efficient solutions and high-performance design. She incorporates her passion for sustainable building into all her projects, focusing on human-centric engineering design for often-marginalized communities. Her work on projects like the renovation of a cluster of low-income housing buildings in the Bronx and a Passive House standard homeless shelter in Queens are great examples of her dedication to creating a more sustainable and equitable built environment. Sajip is also instrumental in designing energy-efficient systems for people who have experienced devastating losses, such as the rebuilding of homes in Maui, Hawaii, in the wake of destructive wildfires and the fabrication of Habitat for Humanity houses in Queens, New York, for those displaced by economic hardship. At MWB Engineering, Sajip oversees a team of 10 engineers across multiple disciplines and is responsible for mentoring young engineers to foster their technical, professional and personal development. She regularly attends career panels, during which she acts as an educator, describing the MEP/FA career path and encouraging young engineers to consider alternative paths than those taught in schools. Sajip is the co-creator and host of the “Made With Brilliance” podcast, where she shares insights on energy-efficient building practices and industry trends. Outside of her career, Sajip enjoys quality time with her family. She regularly takes her children and dog on hikes, embracing nature and an active lifestyle. With a passion for woodworking, she frequently channels her creativity into building custom furniture for her home. She also has a deep appreciation for cooking, particularly experimenting with new flavors and techniques.
