PhD, University of Strathclyde (2016) MSc, University of Edinburgh BA, University of Strathclyde Grant's research centers on energy-economy-environmental modelling , applied regional economic analysis , and renewable energy policies . He employs multisectoral models such as input-output and computable general equilibrium (CGE) frameworks to analyze the economic and environmental impacts of energy and environmental policies, particularly at regional and city levels. His work frequently addresses tourism economics, water use, and climate change mitigation strategies. The recent publications reflect a strong trend in regional and city-level environmental-economic modelling , with a focus on decarbonization, renewable energy (especially offshore wind), sustainable food systems, water resource management, and the blue economy. His methodological strengths include satellite accounting, hypothetical extraction analysis, and behavioural macroeconomic modelling. He has received recognition for his teaching excellence: Effective and sustained contribution to the student learning experience award (30 May 2024) Grant actively supervises PhD and MSc students and leads or contributes to major research projects funded by ESRC, UK Energy Research Centre, Scottish Government, and other public and third-sector bodies. His research has direct policy impact, particularly in Scotland and Europe, enhancing analytical capacity for regional policy-making. He is involved in the Strathclyde Global Environmental Measurement and Monitoring (GEMM) centre and collaborates with institutions like ICLEI Europe on air quality monitoring (GEMINOA project). He is a member of research teams including the Fraser of Allander Institute and participates in professional activities such as workshops, conferences, and public engagement events.
