Area of expertise
Energy geography; sustainability transitions; diffusion of innovations; renewable energy transformations
I have degrees in engineering, environmental studies and geography, and I combine these perspectives into both teaching and research. My current areas of focus are to combine the fields of energy geography and sustainability transitions in order to investigate the actions of communities and the demand-side (households, firms, organizations) in mitigating climate change.
I am accepting graduate students for the 2023-24 academic year.
Research
My current research is focused on understanding the emergence of clusters of low-carbon and renewable energy innovations and energy citizenship. You can learn more about my research on my website: socialexergy.ca/research
Teaching
