I am a Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Strathclyde, working between the Departments of Government and Public Policy, and Electronic and Electrical Engineering. I am a UKRI COP 26 Fellow, focussing on energy justice, aligning evidence for a socially equitable energy transition with financial, environmental, and other outcomes, and providing policymakers with useful and usable insights to deliver a prosperous and equitable net-zero society. I also serve as Research Director to the UK’s Energy Revolution Research Consortium (EnergyREV), which brings together 32 academics across 22 institutions to work alongside policymakers, businesses, and energy industry organisations, exploring the UK’s transition toward smart local energy systems. I am a multidisciplinary scholar who strongly believes in the importance of research for impact, and in bridging the gap between different forms of knowledge and ways of understanding to advance solutions tackling climate change. I am interested in how people interact with energy systems, and how social science and technological insights can be co-developed to better inform policy.
