Beatrice is a Research Assistant in the Department of Engineering’s Energy and Power Group. Her research looks at the impact resilience initiatives and climate change adaptation will have on energy demand, given the increasing frequency and intensity of climate shocks. She uses demographically disaggregated data to identify locally-relevant resilience and adaptation initiatives, using this to inform sub-national energy planning. Beatrice has also contributed to national policy documents, including Decentralised Energy Planning Guidelines in Zambia and the Integrated National Energy Planning Framework in Kenya.
Before joining the Energy and Power Group, Beatrice was an Energy Systems Analyst at the Carbon Trust. She was involved in international projects, including a comparative analysis of GB and China’s ancillary service markets, analysing cross-cutting impacts of the fossil fuel transition for the Coal Asset Transition Accelerator and establishing the Hydrogen Accelerator, a collaborative research programme.
Beatrice holds an MSc in Energy Systems from the University of Oxford and a BSc in Natural Sciences (Astrophysics with History and Philosophy of Science) from UCL.
