I specialize in interdisciplinary approaches towards energy issues, engaging with both natural and social scientists. I assess policy and activist viewpoints, as well as develop and promote new conceptual thinking such as energy justice. A range of external bodies including most notably the British Academy, Carnegie Trust, ESRC, EPSRC, Royal Society of Edinburgh and UKERC has funded the development of my research agenda.
I am involved in a wide range of energy-based academic and commercially funded research. I also retain a keen interest in complementary areas of research seeking to understand technology-society relationships (e.g. biofuels, biotechnology, micro-generation, third generation nuclear reactors). I list a small selection of recently PI and Co-I funded projects ranging from one to six years in project duration;
