Emmanouil Tyllianakis serves as Senior Lecturer in Economics for Sustainable Development at De Montfort University's School of Engineering and Sustainable Development within the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Media. His research bridges environmental science and economics to analyze socio-economic impacts of land/water management decisions across global contexts including the UK, Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean.
His academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Environmental Economics
- MSc in Economics (Environmental Pathway)
- BA (Hons) in Economics
Tyllianakis pursues two core research trajectories: (1) examining bidirectional relationships between human behavior and water ecosystems, and (2) quantifying economic implications of climate change and resource over-exploitation linked to societal perceptions. Current projects involve leading WP6 of the UKRI-funded CEPREC project on renewable energy preferences in sub-Saharan Africa, analyzing policy interventions for water conservation, and assessing plastic waste risks in SMEs. His methodological expertise spans non-market valuation, welfare economics, and risk perception analysis.
His publication record reveals strong thematic coherence in environmental resource economics, with dominant focus areas including water management (35% of recent work), agricultural policy (25%), marine conservation (20%), and plastic pollution economics (15%). Geographically, 40% of studies address European contexts while 30% focus on Global South regions, demonstrating commitment to globally relevant sustainability research.
He currently supervises:
- Rahul Srivastava (PhD): Modeling resident behavior for clean energy interventions in sub-Saharan African communities
Tyllianakis secured major funding as Co-Investigator and WP6 lead for the £3.6 million UKRI Ayrton Challenge Programme project "Circular Microgrids: Circular Economy Pathways for Renewable Microgrids in Africa" (CEPREC, 2025-2027), allocating £1 million to DMU. This builds on prior Horizon 2020 experience with CONSOLE and DRYvER projects at the University of Leeds.
He contributes to the Institute of Energy and Sustainable Development (IESD), participating in interdisciplinary teams addressing global sustainability challenges through integrated economic-environmental research approaches.
