Biography

I am the knowledge exchange fellow for the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Manchester, and a co-director of Tyndall Manchester. In this role I work to link world leading expertice at Tyndall Manchester on climate change mitigation and adaption with applications in industry, government and civil society. This includes direct consultancy projects with organisations tailored to their specific research needs. In this role I have helped to lead impactful research that includes; climate risk assessment for organisations, local authority climate change action, sustainble healthcare, shipping in a low carbon world and decarbonising the live music industry.

My previous work focused on how to reduce energy sector greenhouse gas emissions, using environmental life cycle assessment (LCA), techno-economic assessment and stakeholder based energy scenarios to investigate net environmental and financial impacts of transitions to low carbon energy provision. Past research projects included the EPSRC MYSTORE project, assessing the environmental implications of different energy storage options, and WISE PV (EPSRC) using consequential LCA approaches to assess the impact of high PV uptake in the UK. My PhD assessed the potential to use heat from nuclear reactors at potential new build sites in the UK. In 2013 I spent three months at the Institute for Global Environmental Studies (IGES) in Japan. Prior to academic research I was an energy market analyst working on supply chain analysis and market forecasts for oil, gas and renewables sectors.
