Bahar Riazi is with Google's Technical Infrastructure (TI) Carbon Footprint team, where she performs life cycle assessments (LCAs) for key components, including hard disk drives (HDDs). She uses primary data collected from suppliers by Google's supplier engagement team to calculate the carbon footprint at both the supplier and capacity-specific levels. Bahar identifies emission hotspots and quantifies carbon reductions in HDDs resulting from various reduction levers, such as clean energy.
