I joined GCEP as a Post-doctoral Researcher in February 2011. Prior to this I undertook my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with the Advanced Energy and Material Systems (AEMS) Laboratory at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. My doctoral thesis was Global Energy Modelling - A Biophysical Approach (GEMBA) which married net energy analysis with systems dynamic modelling to study the interaction of the global economy with the energy sector. I carried out a number of community-based energy-related projects whilst in New Zealand. I was especially involved with Transition initiatives: local groups seeking innovative ways to address the twin challenges of Peak Oil and Climate Change.

I also hold a Masters Degree in Physics and Philosophy from the University of Bristol, UK.
