The shift from carbonaceous sources to cleaner alternatives necessitates reorienting and optimizing energy supply chains. Despite technological advancements, energy security remains susceptible to disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions, resource constraints, and market fluctuations. This chapter explores how genetic simulations, leveraging metaheuristic optimization techniques, facilitate a trade-off between the resilience and cost-effectiveness of green hydrogen supply chains.

In this intensely personal chapter of the commemorative volume on the late Raja Ramanna, I reflect on the remarkable individual that Dr Ramanna was and as I saw him during our years together in NIAS, from 1996 till his passing in 2004.  I particularly celebrate his multifaceted personality, especially his relationships with the young faculty of the institute, his deep love for all living beings, and his inimitable sense of humour through which he saw the world.

Dr. Raja Ramanna, an internationally renowned nuclear physicist and founder and Director of the National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS), had deep interests in Western classical music as well as in ancient Indian traditions.
