I am engaged as a human geographer at the University of Bergen, where I held a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the Department of Geography and the Centre for Climate and Energy Transformation during 2017-2020. I study the governance of energy transitions, have worked in seven countries and established an international, interdisciplinary research profile on resource and energy governance. During 2018 and 2019, I also worked as a Researcher at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities. During my postdoctoral years, I led a project on solar uptake in Portugal, and supported another on smart grid development in Norway.

My postdoctoral project was entitled ‘Solar ‘power’: Producing accountable institutions for transitions to renewable energy’. This was funded through the Akademia agreement between the University of Bergen and Equinor, and the Bergen Research Foundation project ‘European Cities as Actors in Climate and Energy Transformation’. As part of the Centre for Climate and Energy Transformation, I engage keenly with human and development geographers as well as along interdisciplinary lines.

My research focuses on questions of social and environmental equity and justice along three main strands. The first concerns extractive zones, conflict regions and sites of dispossession. At this supply end of the energy spectrum, I explore issues of inequitable power relations and resource access in conjunction with the configuration and constitution of institutional authority.

The second concerns the political economy of the energy sector, and interrogates dynamics close to the supply-demand interface. Here, I have examined the governance of electricity distribution, and engage with questions of social imaginaries of energy, intra-household and community energy practices, and public engagement with decision-making on common energy futures, with an empirical basis in India, Portugal, Norway and elsewhere.

The third strand concerns questions of accountability and sustainability in energy transitions, with an empirical focus on solar uptake. I am keen to unpack claims of sustainability – understood as decarbonisation with an enhancing effect on social equity – associated with energy transitions and their contextual specificities. My work in this regard employs expert interviews, participant and field observation, small-scale surveys, and extended engagement with a wide range of sectoral stakeholders. This empirical effort is accompanied by a methodological ambition to study accountability as a means of characterising energy transitions in relation to their implications for sustainability.

From August 2020 onward, I am based at the University of Stavanger as an Associate Professor in Energy and Environment.

Please look through the ideas below or here if you're considering sending me an email concerning (co-)supervising your thesis project:

Masters thesis project 1: Sustainability effects of solar energy transitions across space and scale

In what ways are solar energy projects contributing to sustainability? Is their grid integration environmentally sound? Are they making the energy sector more people-friendly? What factors matter towards such outcomes and what processes determine these factors? The project will be empirically based on single/multiple sites/scales in e.g. Norway, Portugal and/or India. I am available to provide inputs on applications for requisite funding to support fieldwork. Conceptually, the project will draw on infrastructure and environmental politics, and the political economy of development from energy geography perspectives.

Masters thesis project 2: Land-use change due to energy sprawl in the renewables transition

What are the land-related impacts of shifts away from fossil fuels and towards renewable sources like solar energy? Is a transition to renewables accompanied by more distributed generation or driven by large concentrated projects? The project will draw on multiple data types, both qualitative and quantitative, to study energy transitions in relation to land-use change, most likely in comparative perspective. It will draw on emerging scholarship on energy sprawl solutions, backed by political and development geography theories that connect land use, power relations, and environmental planning and governance. The regional focus is flexible and depends on data availability.

General themes

I am happy to discuss supervision and co-supervision of Masters and PhD theses respectively on topics related to any or all of the themes of energy transitions, political economy, resource governance, environmental planning and interdisciplinary social science work on solar energy uptake.
