Zeynep Clulow

Dr. Zeynep Clulow serves as a Research Associate at the Energy Policy Research Group, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, and holds a College Research Associate position at Emmanuel College. She additionally supervises the Master of Studies in Sustainability Leadership program at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, demonstrating her commitment to academic mentorship and sustainable development education.

Educational background:

• PhD from the University of Nottingham

Her research centers on stakeholder attitudes toward energy technologies, with particular emphasis on negative emission technologies and practices (NETPs) and the socio-political dimensions of energy transition. She investigates how political ideology shapes public perceptions of fossil fuels, renewables, and carbon capture technologies, while also examining the broader implications of fossil fuel subsidies for sustainable development and educational outcomes. Her methodological expertise includes designing and analyzing public surveys to assess energy and environmental attitudes.

Analysis of her publication record (2014-2024) reveals consistent interdisciplinary focus spanning climate policy, political economy, and energy transitions. Her work demonstrates sophisticated integration of survey methodology with policy analysis, particularly examining democracy's role in energy transitions, cross-national attitude comparisons, and the socio-technical challenges of carbon removal technologies. The research shows increasing attention to practical policy applications, including COP26 contributions and union-focused briefings on fossil fuel subsidies.
