Personal profile

Personal Statement

I am a senior member of the Energy for Development team within the Institute for Energy and Environment.  I work across a range of research and knowledge exchange projects with a focus on local energy systems and off-grid electricity access in developing countries.   My work has primarily focussed in Malawi and I have been participating in and leading energy access partnership projects there for over 10 years.  My current role involves working with local institutions to develop and apply appropriate technical and business model innovation that delivers sustainable electricity access to rural, unserved communities.
