I use my technical modelling and analytical background to show how heat pump performances across different housing archetypes could influence residents' energy consumption and bills.

What I do at ESUK

As part of the team, I work on a heat pump R&D project, looking at what their performance really means for the people living with the technology.

I build half-hourly thermal and financial models of heat pump performance across different housing archetypes, working out how additional factors like time-of-use tariffs, solar panels and battery storage affect running costs.

My modelling is helping to build cases in which low carbon heating can genuinely work for residents.

What I did before ESUK

‍

Before joining ESUK, my background was in sustainability more broadly. I studied ‘Sustainability & Change’ for my undergraduate degree, engaged in a student-led organisation tackling social and ecological problems, as well as worked in biodiversity management.

I'm currently finishing a Master's in ‘Smart Energy and the Built Environment’ at UCL, which is where my focus shifted toward the built environment and energy systems specifically, bringing together my earlier sustainability background with a more technical approach to decarbonising homes.

My biggest achievement

‍

I’m proud that I chose two study programmes in different countries without knowing either city well beforehand - both turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. I moved with more curiosity than certainty, and somehow found myself loving both places, programmes, and the paths they opened for me.
