My Thesis' Abstract
Ph.D:  Sustainable transition strategies for interdependent infrastructure futures. 
 
Main focus on the Water-Energy nexus.
 
My main research covers long term infrastructure transitions, with a focus on the water-energy nexus. Particular focus has been modelling the effect of drivers such as climate change, economy and demography on infrastructure performance. I am keen on quantifying cross-sector interdependencies, probabilistic risks of failure, but also identification of robust performance under uncertainty. 
 
This includes:
 - hydrological variability and risks to power station cooling in the UK
 - energy intensity of water supply options and adaptation
 
I also have a keen interest in the way socio-technological transitions can inform policy and regulatory frameworks to accommodate infrastructure in our rapidly evolving and complex society.
