Hello! I'm a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds (UK), working across the disciplines of engineering, economics and social science. My background is interdisciplinary: my PhD was in Physical Chemistry but I’ve also worked in the public sector with businesses. My research interests centre on energy systems and their transformation in order to achieve affordable low-carbon energy. I am currently working on a project to investigate policy options for heat-demand reduction in cities. I work with local government organisations in the UK and, more widely, am also interested in how complexity tools can be applied to energy challenges and translated into policy action. For those on Twitter, I tweet about my research at @EnergyFrin.
