Background

My work at the University of Reading focuses on research and teaching related to urban sustainability through resource efficiency and global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mitigation. I lead the Sustainable & Equitable Resource Consumption (SERC) group, with research topics on applications of life cycle thinking in energy and food systems. Focus areas include the use of urban metabolism for GHG inventorying, charting a path for food system GHG mitigation, and the adoption of low-carbon technologies, especially in domestic retrofits.

Our group also collaborates with non-academic partners to apply quantitative sustainability analysis. One example is a recent project where we collaborated with Toast Brewing to assess the life cycle impacts of using surplus bread within brewing processes, towards an estimation of the net carbon benefits.

Ultimately, our research uses quantitative sustainability assessments of the built environment and food systems to contribute to the evidence base towards low-carbon societies.
