Professor in Sustainable Energy, University College Cork I am a Professor in Sustainable Energy at University College Cork. I lead a team of researchers who analyse future pathways for the energy system compatible with steep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions necessary to address climate change. I communicate extensively on the topic of climate action in Ireland, writing a monthly column, At A Time Of Climate Crisis, for the Irish Times, and I engage with and advise government, civil society and industry on decarbonisation. I previously worked at the International Energy Agency (IEA), leading the topic of energy development for the World Energy Outlook (WEO), and at the UCL Energy Institute, developing the UK TIMES Model (UKTM) and helping bring about its adoption by the (former) Department for Energy and Climate Change as the central energy systems tool for the UK government. Research interests: Energy Systems Optimisation Modelling (ESOM) - TIMES Climate change mitigation policy Carbon budget policy Energy policy scenarios Global Integrated Assessment Models Energy access, clean cooking and SDG 7
