Household - Energy - Decisions

LOOKS LIKE RAIN, TED

I am a Senior Research Fellow working at Trinity College Dublin. My research explores household energy-related investments and decisions, and the effects of informational nudges. I have published in the areas of flight choice, car choice, property decisions and commuting.

I am also a member of the Research Network on Energy Workforce Transitions (LSE, Grantham) and the Benefacts editorial oversight board.
