Dr Mike Tennant serves as Vice-Dean for Education and Principal Teaching Fellow at Imperial College London's Centre for Environmental Policy within the Faculty of Natural Sciences. He co-convenes the Business and the Environment Option of the MSc in Environmental Technology and leads the Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Industrial Sustainability as Imperial's EPSRC investigator.
His educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Theoretical Chemistry (University of Manchester)
- M.Sc. in Environmental Technology (Imperial College London)
- M.Ed. (Imperial College London)
Tennant's research integrates systems thinking and complexity theory to design sustainability interventions, with core focus on circular economy implementation, social inclusivity, and resilient urban design. He develops creativity-based tools for creating environmentally and socially responsive products, services, and policies while examining organizational contexts in constrained resource environments.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals strong interdisciplinary convergence across circular economy business models, urban resilience frameworks, and human-centered sustainability approaches. His work increasingly bridges theoretical systems analysis with practical implementation strategies, emphasizing social dimensions like inclusivity and human needs satisfaction while exploring industrial symbiosis and resource-service systems.
He supervises PhD research on topics including social inclusivity in circular economies and resilient urban design. Significant funding includes leadership of the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Industrial Sustainability, examining manufacturing's role in resource-constrained futures.
Tennant actively collaborates through Imperial's Centre for Environmental Policy and Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Industrial Sustainability, developing cross-sector partnerships to advance sustainable business practices and policy frameworks.
