I am a post-doc at the University of Edinburgh researching low carbon heating solutions for the decarbonisation of the heating and cooling sector. I work on low temperature resources such as ground source and water source heat pumps and have a keen interest in the potential for heat recovery and recycling to create circular heat networks. My aim is to contribute to the development and implementation of successful low carbon solutions to facilitate a Net Zero future.With a background in geology I have always been motivated by the role that geosciences plays in energy provision, and have experience working on research projects as diverse as radioactive waste disposal, both conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon recovery, and geothermal energy. Recently, my interest is focussed on low temperature heating resources and the potential for geothermal energy to provide low carbon power and heating via heat pumps. I have developed skills in numerical modelling of coupled systems and combine these with experimental expertise to investigate fundamental processes key to successful development of new techniques. During my post-doc position I have commissioned a world-unique experimental aparatus capable of recreating realistic subsurface conditions of temperature, fluid pressure, and stress, which is currently used to investigate wellbore stimulation techniques for geothermal energy and shallow groundwater wells.
