Research Interests
My research is focused on infrastructure systems, in particular energy. A majority of my work focuses on the relationship between energy and natural systems (e.g., water, land, climate) for current, planned, and future energy pathways. This includes assessments like carbon accounting, water footprinting, multi-criteria optimisation, and more. I often use computational modelling, data analysis, and statistics in my work.
Currently, I seeking applications for:
- 1 PhD position focusing on modelling Aotearoa New Zealand's future energy system with large-scale hydrogen geostorage.
