About me

I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the Univerisity of Sheffield, where I study resource efficiency and environmental impacts related to petrochemical consumption, material production, and energy infrastructure.

During my PhD (in the University of Cambridge, Engineering Dept.) I developed a “calculator” (a computational model based on physical flows) to quantify the aggregated energy demands of Net-Zero proposals. The model estimates the overall demands of carbon storage, non-emitting electricity and biomass which I then compare against feasible availability of those resources. Find out more by playing with our interactive version of ZERCalc!

Previously I worked as a chartered mechanical engineer at Rolls-Royce (for seven years spread across aviation, marine and nuclear), and for Engineers-Without-Borders, EWB (one year in Malaysian Borneo). I have a MEng and BA in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Cambridge.
