Affiliate Member of the Tyndall Centre, Visiting Researcher

Scientist and Project Leader, Institute for Housing and Environment (IWU)

Throughout my research career, I have focused on sustainability and particularly the governance of the environment, climate change and energy at various governance levels. I hold a PhD from the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, an MPhil from the University of Oxford and a BA from Middlebury College, USA. After four years at the Institute for Political Science at the Technical University of Darmstadt/Germany (2016-2020), I joined the Institute for Housing and Environment (IWU), also in Darmstadt, in October 2020. I have been a visiting researcher at the Tyndall Centre throughout.
