Sophie is a human geographer and Science and Technology Studies scholar, and has a research background in climate change impacts and adaptation. She is currently engaged in social science research on the challenges of building renewable and resilient energy systems in a changing climate, with interests in household energy users’ experiences and engagement with distributed energy resources, and the ways that climate science is used in energy system operations and planning. Current projects include ESKIES, which is exploring how households manage power supply disruptions during extreme weather events. Past projects include co-leading the ‘Social License to Automate’ Annex of the International Energy Agency’s Users-Centred Energy Systems Technology Collaboration Programme.
