All sources of energy for human activities have an impact on our environment, so it is crucial for the energy transition to be informed by the best possible data in order to minimise environmental impacts. My role is primarily to act as a 'critical friend' of decarbonisation activities in the energy sector; I acknowledge that interventions such as renewable energy developments or transmission system upgrades are not zero impact, and work to develop and improve the analytical tools to evaluate both these and any consequential benefits (such as displacement of fossil fuels). The aim of my work is to inform development in the sector to achieve rapid, affordable decarbonisation, while limiting other environmental damage. A particular focus of this is currently on evaluating marginal carbon costs and benefits; combining my background in Electrical & Mechanical Engineering with a detailed understanding of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and marginal analysis techniques adapted from economics.

I am also a keen advocate for diversity in Engineering. I was the founding chair of the School's Molly Fergusson Initiative, and was named one of the Top 50 Women in Engineering - Sustainability in 2020.
