Sustainable future energy systems will require new regulations, frameworks, and business models, as well as complex systems which bring together different technologies to work in harmony. Only interdisciplinary, systems-based approaches can consider this problem in its entirety.

The diversity of expertise and knowledge of our staff enables us to examine and research energy systems from a variety of perspectives, including engineering, economics, planning, and computing.

Specific topics of research include:

  • economics of energy systems and system change
  • carbon foot-printing
  • sustainable transport
  • policy for sustainable energy and system change
  • high voltage research with power and aerospace sectors
  • behaviour change.

We work with a wide range of government and industry stakeholders so that academic research can meet real-world scenarios and generate meaningful impact.
