Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

Highly qualified candidates with funding or plans to obtain funding should get in touch with a short research proposal around the economics of transitions and/or system innovation in energy systems, with a quantitative focus but willingness to combine these with qualitative processes.

Personal profile

My research in a nutshell

I am an applied transdisciplinary economist , trying to find ways to achieve disruptive innovation in complex systems. I combine a background in economics and techno-economic modelling of energy and transport systems (including mathematical tools such as optimisation and complementarity modelling) with experience in delivering advice to decision makers in business and government, and a strong interest in the process of complex systems innovation. 

Research Interests

  • Systems innovation
  • Decision making under uncertainty, particularly in energy and transport markets
  • Economics of transitions
  • Deriving actionable insights from models
