Research interests
I research the energy performance and decarbonisation of healthcare estates, with a focus on hospitals in the UK. My work integrates building energy modelling, statistical analysis of large-scale operational datasets, and qualitative inquiry into organisational decision-making. A core aim of my research is to develop generalisable, archetype-based models and evidence-informed retrofit strategies that can be deployed at scale, improving both energy efficiency and resilience across complex healthcare infrastructure. This work sits at the interface of building physics, sustainability policy, and real-world estates management.
Background
I trained in Architectural Engineering (BSc, University of Plymouth) before completing an MRes in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment at the University of Cambridge. I am currently a PhD Candidate in the Department of Engineering at Cambridge. My academic work is complemented by professional experience in the science, technology, and healthcare sectors, where I have contributed to data-driven energy assessments, decarbonisation strategies, and the evaluation of estate-wide retrofit opportunities. This combined technical and organisational perspective underpins my research approach, which seeks to produce insights that are analytically rigorous, operationally practical, and policy relevant.
