Personal profile
Personal Statement
I am a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative academic with 15 years experience of working on hydrogen technologies and novel materials in Japan before returning to the UK. My main interests lay in energy and sustainabity and how we can ensure that so-called renewable technologies do not inherently rely on unsustainable or critical raw materials .
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
