Personal profile

Overview

Lin is a PDRA on the UKRI/ERC-funded GENERATE project, led by Prof. Saska Petrova, her research focuses on quantitative analysis to uncover gendered disparities in energy access and use. By examining data patterns across the Western Balkans, she contributes to understand how energy and related policies impact differently on gender’s aspects, supporting the development of equitable and sustainable energy solutions globally.

Before joining Manchester, she contributed to the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship project (Mapping Ambient Vulnerabilities in UK Cities) led by Dr. Caitlin Robinson at the Geographical Sciences department of the University of Bristol. Her work focused on the interconnections between summer energy poverty, air quality, and climate factors and how they influence vulnerable households. Lin completed her PhD at the Sustainability Research Institute, University of Leeds, studying the spatio-temporal evolution of energy poverty in China, including its assessment, drivers, and policies.
