Teaching
I teach across the spectrum of energy, focusing on energy generation, supply and demand, across a range of technologies, including nuclear, wind, solar, hydrogen, tidal etc.
Energy and the Environment
Examining energy generation technologies and supply, impacts of demand on energy requirements, and the design of energy systems suitable to meet demand across a range of criteria. Understanding the nature of energy generation technology requirements, eg. location, impact on the environment, operational behaviour (intermittent sources and base load), linking all criteria to allow a new system to be designed and implemented.
Nuclear Technologies
Examining nuclear energy, how it works, its challenges and impacts, and how it can provide base load energy to an energy supply network. Specifically looking at fission/fusion theory, material requirements for reactor technologies, evolution and behaviour of reactors, long-term storage of nuclear waste, and the economics of nuclear energy.
