Profile

I joined the University of Leeds in 2018 as a Senior Research Fellow and a member of the Sustainability Research Institute (SRI), within the School of Earth and Environment. Previously I worked at the University of Bath, where I undertook my PhD.

My research assesses energy demand reduction and emissions reduction throughout industrial supply chains. I have a background in mechanical engineering and retain a focus on quantitative analysis and modelling whilst drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives.

I have advised and worked with a number of UK government departments, the Climate Change Committee and consultancies, covering topics including industrial decarbonisation, resource efficiency and emissions accounting.

Research interests

My current research is funded by the Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC), where I am a member of the Futures theme.

Previously I worked within the Materials and Products theme of the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions (CREDS), leading analysis of this sector in the Positive Low Energy Futures project.
