• In my current role as Carbon Analyst, I aide a variety of companiesin conducting carbon footprints in line with the Greenhouse GasProtocol.• I have experience revising full LCAs in line with ISO 14040 and14044.

I worked as a Research Assistant on various energy efficiency optimisation projects.The first project focused on addressing fuel poverty in particular throughout the transition to a Net Zero future. For a test case in Surrey, the energy systems are modelled and analysed using optimisation techniques in Python. The solver's output, or 'optimal system design', was assessed based on its potential wider socio-economic impacts.In the second project I worked on an energy optimisation model for heating in an office room. The model aims to ensure thermal comfort is met whilst minimising heater energy usage based on occupancy trends.The final project uses an optimisation model to support the University on their building energy efficiency strategy. The aim of this project was to familiarise the facilities management team with optimisation models and their decision-making capabilities with regards to retrofitting buildings. It has set the base for discussions on working together on future retrofit projects.
