PhD Candidate

Bio

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh, specialising in sector coupling, energy system integration, and market design. My research focus is on developing an open-source, sector-coupled energy system model and energy market for GB. I have built a Python-based, high-resolution model of residential heating demand, capturing both heating and associated electricity use. This work is going to be integrated into PyPSA-GB to support future energy system and market design research.
