Energy technology and policy, innovation processes and systems, pro-environmental behaviour, behaviour change interventions, decision heuristics and biases
My research interests lie at the intersection between innovation, behaviour and policy in the field of energy and climate change mitigation. I joined the Tyndall Centre and UEA in September 2010 from the London School of Economics (LSE). There, I taught courses on technological change and business sustainability. I am currently working as a Lead Author on the Global Energy Assessment (forthcoming in 2011) with colleagues from IIASA, a research institute based outside Vienna. I have a PhD from the University of British Columbia in Canada. This was an inter-disciplinary social scientific investigation of the social and behavioural determinants of energy use. Prior to my PhD, I worked for a number of years in the private sector in both renewable energy finance and climate change policy. I have an MSc in Environmental Technology from Imperial College, and a BA in Modern Languages & Natural Sciences from Cambridge.
