Trivedi joined Clarkson as a visiting assistant professor in August 2018 and moved to the tenure track in January 2019. Since then, she has built a nationally recognized research program in computational and materials physics. Her research focuses on nanoscale energy transfer, plasmonic nanomaterials, environmental remediation, and emerging materials for next-generation energy and electronic technologies.

Her work integrates theory and advanced computational methods to address complex challenges in energy and materials science. She has published in leading journals including Nano Letters and Chemistry of Materials, with cover features in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. Her research has also been highlighted in special issues such as Future Leaders in Physical Chemistry, Early Career Forum, and the Special Collection in Honor of Women in Chemical Physics and Physical Chemistry.

Trivedi has earned national recognition for her leadership and service in the scientific community. She serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, the National Science Foundation (NSF) ACCESS Research Advisory Committee, and the U.S. Department of Energy's Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies User Executive Committee.

At Clarkson, Trivedi advances scholarship in nanotechnology and materials science while mentoring undergraduate and graduate researchers. Her work is supported by competitive funding, including an NSF Engineering Research Initiation grant. Through her research, student mentorship and professional leadership, Trivedi continues to strengthen Clarkson's impact in physics and materials science.

Trivedi earned a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Rochester, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at Northwestern University. She holds a master's and bachelor's degree from Gujarat University.
