Public engagement with grid transformation
My PhD research investigated the real-world problem of public disengagement from major electrical infrastructure projects such as NSIPs. The research was funded by National Grid and ESRC and I have continued to develop this research area primarily through consultancy, advising energy suppliers and engaging with Government.
Geological Disposal for nuclear waste management
I am currently examining the transferability of my research into understanding community engagement with proposed GDFs. The research is being undertaken through a PhD Studentship which is fully funded by Nuclear Waste Services (NWS) and the University of Liverpool, due to complete in 2028.
