George graduated from the University of Sheffield with a BSc in physics (2019) and an MSc in Energy Engineering with Industrial Management (2020). He joined the ERBE CDT EPSRC programme in 2020. Having completed work placements in various parts of the energy sector, he has developed a passion for understanding the complexity of energy systems and the built environment. Most recently, George was seconded to the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) as a technical specialist working on the recent uplift to the building regulations (Future Homes standard). George has previously worked with companies such as E.ON UK, EDF Energy and AMCO-Giffen, who have helped guide and foster his curiosity and interest with the complexities of energy engineering. He is working towards chartered engineering status as an associate member of the Energy Institute (AMEI) His MSc project focussed on the use of agent-based modelling techniques to simulate a district heat network, which is currently being explored further by Sheffield City Council. This work set the basis for his continued research into the dynamic modelling of multi-vector energy and heating systems. Current research interests include energy system dynamics, multi-scale energy system modelling, building energy modelling, and demand response and energy flexibility.
