Research title: Developing community-scale whole-energy system models integrating sustainability KPIs towards net-zero futures

Research summary

Current research

PhD

Over the course of my PhD I aim to develop community-scale whole-energy system models, integrating sustainability key performance indicators to assist the transition towards just net-zero futures.

Research groups

I am part of the Low Carbon Energy Team that sits within an interdiciplinary research programme know as GALLANT - Glasgow as a Living Lab Accelerating Novel Transformation.

In partnership with Glasgow City Council, we are helping the city move towards a just and sustainable transition to net zero. You can find out more about the programme here.
