Profile

I am a Research Fellow at PAIS and a member of the UK Energy Research Centre.

I received my MPhil from Cambridge and PhD from Edinburgh, before becoming Research Director of a small green finance think tank. I have been fortunate to be with Warwick and UKERC since.

My research centres on energy, climate and world politics. I am currently engaged in a series of work to critically rethink what energy security and geopolitics mean in today’s world – theoretically, historically, and for the UK in particular.

My outlook is interdisciplinary, and I have interests across international relations, political economy, intellectual history, energy and environmental politics, and political theory.
