Welcome to my homepage. I am a research associate in Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage, working for Prof. Stuart Hazeldine. I work on the role of CCS in energy and climate policy focussing on the demonstration of CCS in the EU and elsewhere.
My research interests include the formation of policy to accelerate the application of CCS technology to help stabilise atmospheric CO2 concentration at a manageable level, how to allow society to continue to develop while reducing it's impact on the climate and environment, and how climate science research informs and interacts with government, industry, NGOs and the wider public.
My original background is in physics and I studied the ocean carbon cycle for my PhD in the Global Change research group.
In my spare time I'm usually found in the somewhere in the great outdoors - rock climbing, mountaineering, skiing, hill running or just enjoying the fresh air and views.
