Prof. Stephanie Hirmer

Research Chair + Equity and Governance Community Co-Lead

Stephanie Hirmer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering at the University of Oxford. She currently serves as Research Chair for Climate Compatible Growth and co-leads the Equity and Governance Community. She brings over 15 years of experience in equitable energy access, spanning both academia and professional practice.

Her research centres on integrating community perspectives into energy decision-making to promote more inclusive, equitable, and context-specific outcomes. Together with her team, she explores how high-income opportunities—such as green hydrogen, solar-powered irrigation, or copper mining—can serve as levers for broader development, while actively addressing neo-colonial dynamics in the energy transition.
