Research and expertise

I am a multidisciplinary early-career research associate exploring the entangled link between energy and people. My primary interest is energy vulnerability and its impact on health and well-being.

My PhD focused on studying the effects of domestic retrofit on fuel poverty and vulnerable households, quantifying the implications for national decarbonisation objectives.

I have been involved in several research projects, spanning a wide range of the energy research field. From indoor environment monitoring for developing high-detail energy models to an extensive field study investigating the impact of summer overheating on people’s sleep in London apartments.

I have been seconded at the UK Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, where I contributed to the development of the national Home Energy Model, and I am a member of the Fuel Poverty Energy Network.

I joined BERG in July 2019 as a Doctoral Researcher.
