I am a PhD researcher at the University of Strathclyde’s Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, Strategy, and Innovation, and an associate member of the Strathclyde Institute for Sustainable Communities.

My work focuses on developing market and policy interventions that will enable more households across Britain to benefit from various Domestic Smart Energy Solutions (DSES), such as smart meters, EVs, and heat pumps.

I am funded by the University, as well as the Malcolm Wicks Memorial Fund, named in memory of the late MP and esteemed anti-poverty campaigner. The MWMF PhD programme is funded by Affordable Warmth Solutions and administered by National Energy Action (NEA), to enable students to undertake research into innovative approaches for tackling fuel poverty.

My previous academic work focused on the social implications of the development of community energy systems, from a community entrepreneurship lens, as well as the use of economic theory in parliamentary politics. I am also interested in community and state-led innovation, and the economic history of energy and the environment.
