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.

My research uses in-depth interviews to understand people’s experiences of deep fuel and transport poverty in the UK with focus on people living in cities, spanning the South and North of the UK. I also work on issues of low carbon energy transition and access in South Africa. I focus on how energy use affects wellbeing in multiple connected ways, including abilities to access/use digital services and transport as well as heat/cooling and light.

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 am a social scientist with a specific interest in how people are affected by fuel poverty and transport poverty. My research has focused on the lived experiences of people, particularly how being in fuel poverty and/or transport poverty affects people's every day life. I have also researched community action on fuel poverty, spatial aspects and the impact of different policies.

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 an expert in the relationship between climate policy, fuel poverty, and policy. I strongly believe that we can address climate change goals (e.g. net zero) in a fair and just way that lifts the most vulnerable out of fuel poverty.
