- Biographical info: My research adopts an interdisciplinary perspective to examine socio-technical aspects of the global energy transition and decarbonisation with a focus on well-being, energy poverty, participation, power, and social justice. I’m particularly interested in understanding how shifting actions and power relations maintain or transform society’s relationship with low-carbon technologies in the Global South and North.
