Research Fellow ECI, University of Oxford Apr 2013 Post-doctoral research on Supergen HiDEF Explore potential for domestic sector to contribute to system balancing through demand responses. Develop a framework and assess the business models underlying different community energy initiatives. Research Fellow SCME, University of Reading Aug 2012Feb 2013 Exploring the opportunities for demand response within different capacity mechanism congurations. Collaborated with commercial demand aggregator analysing their client database. Identied regulatory bias leading to stand-by generation provision in preference to demand turn-down. PhD candidate Centre for Energy Policy and Technology, Imperial College London Oct 2009Mar 2013 UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) studentship for interdisciplinary research into the role for electricity storage in future low carbon energy systems, transition pathways, stakeholder perceptions and policy implications. Identied high value for long duration storage despite low efciencies in low carbon systems Led 2 day stakeholder workshop, leading to funding for novel modelling approach for grid storage Collaborated with Carbon Trust.

Time resolved modelling of demand proles and intermittent sources in electricity systems, using Matlab, GAMS, Python and Excel. Deep understanding of a broad range of issues related to low carbon system integrations, including demand side, networks, generation, markets, regulation and policy. Reviewed cases of historical transition and applied socio-technical transition theory to the case of distributed electricity storage for the UK. Represent the value and potential to shift the timing of consumption through incentives, information and technology.
