Summary
Honorary Reader in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Resource Efficient Future Cities Centre. My research is about the use of energy in the urban environment and the limits to natural resources. My main areas of interest are in energy security, sustainability, transport, and resource efficiency. I use techniques and methods including the application of robust methods for metrics and indicators, and data mining and analytics.I have published more than 100 reviewed articles and technical reports.
Qualifications
