• Research Focus: Energy demand flexibility, net-zero systems, data science applications in energy modeling, and socio-economic factors influencing residential energy consumption.
• Key Contributions: Development of stochastic, agent-based, and machine learning models to link human activity patterns with energy demand variability; analysis of EV charging impacts on peak loads; and exploration of core power capacity requirements for equitable net-zero transitions.
• Publications: 15+ peer-reviewed works in Applied Energy, Energy and Buildings, Energy Research & Social Science, and Energies, with emphasis on demand modeling, time-use behavior, and urban energy systems.
• Collaborations: Frequent co-authorship with researchers like J. Torriti, P. Grünewald, and N. Eyre, focusing on demand-side management and policy frameworks.

Technical Expertise: Advanced skills in energy systems analysis, data science, and machine learning applied to residential electrification and urban heat emissions. Creator of energy-demand-flexibility.co.uk visualization tools.
