We have created this expert directory to facilitate the accessibility of the work being done on fuel poverty. We hope it will be used by journalists and the media to quickly and easily find subject matter experts on all aspects of fuel poverty. This will enable the research community to add our evidence to the discussion and use it to support policy changes.
The directory is part of the Fuel Poverty Evidence project. We aim to capture the extent and diversity of this wide-ranging field of research. If you would like to be included, please complete this simple form.

Mo Hosein Abbasi
PhD Researcher
Liverpool John Moores University
Liverpool


I am an interdisciplinary energy researcher currently investigating the interconnections between social factors of heat decarbonisation, e.g. fuel poverty, thermal comfort, health impacts, public acceptability, safety, etc., with the economic and environmental factors and their role in delivering a just and sustainable transition. Prior to this I worked for almost 7 years in building energy services and the energy-environment startup ecosystem.

My PhD looks at the impacts of energy poverty on children, and specifically how do children experience energy poverty. I have also worked on energy poverty and gender aspects and I am very interested on vulnerable people facing low carbon transitions, so just/fair transitions.

I work with Indigenous and marginalised groups to try to understand lived experiences of extreme heat, and I am working towards a people-centred definition of cooling poverty. In these times of increasing and prolonged heatwaves, it is crucial we diversify our knowledge, and share local-based strategies to cope with extreme heat. Journalism can help democratise this information.

I am interested in how people experience fuel poverty in daily life, as well as how policy and the energy market shape these experiences. I also research the transition to Net Zero, and how it is likely to impact on those that are already vulnerable (including those already in fuel poverty).

Dr Rokia Raslan
Associate Professor
University College London
London, UK


My research focuses on the development of evidence-based built environment decarbonisation policy that is inclusive (considers all sectors of the building stock) & resilient (to future climate change). I am an expert in identifying equitable solutions for Hard to Decarbonise Homes, where the reduction of carbon emissions involves costs that are higher, barriers that are more difficult to overcome, or solutions that are more complex to implement

I am an applied interdisciplinary researcher, and I like collaborating with diverse groups of people to develop holistic solutions to real life energy issues. My research interests include the role of public policy and policymaking processes in shaping energy, structural inequalities in the distribution of affordable and clean forms of energy, health and wellbeing outcomes, and indicators for measuring the complex realities of energy poverty.
