Biography

I am a Senior Research Associate in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. My research focuses on the design of sustainable and inclusive energy access systems which account for local community needs. I take multi-method and multi-disciplinary approaches combining data-driven spatial analysis and machine learning with nuanced consideration of policy context and stakeholder perspectives to investigate culturally, financially, and environmentally sustainable energy access solutions. Presently, I work on the FCDO-funded "Climate Compatible Growth" (CCG) research programme, which aims to support developing countries in taking a path of low carbon growth whilst simultaneously unlocking profitable investment in green infrastructure. On this project, I focus on subnational energy systems planning and spatial modelling of related economic opportunities in Zambia and Kenya.
