º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½

I’m a PhD researcher in EV logistics, so my work combines aspects of logistics and planning with electrical engineering to solve complex problems. I was one of the first cohorts ever to study General Engineering here at the University of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½. It’s a really interdisciplinary course that’s all about looking at challenges from a range of different perspectives to come up with new and non-traditional solutions. It was therefore a great foundation for my PhD project, which is all about combining engineering and logistics to solve a problem that needs new planning, not new technology. I came to º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ for my undergraduate (integrated masters) degree and liked it so much I decided to stay. The advert for my PhD project felt like a list of all the things I was most interested in researching – transport systems, sustainability, and taking an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving. º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ already felt like home, so staying here felt like a no-brainer. I’m funded by the Energy Institute and a scholar of the Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures, so my work really is focused on adapting our world to make it cleaner, greener, and better for future generations. Outside of research, I’m a keen climber and kayaker. I love going on adventures, so being close to the Peak District is perfect for me. I also helped set up the University’s LGBT+ in STEM society.
