I am interested in the economics of health and urban environments, and especially in metrics which can help decision making to improve the places where we live.

I’m researching how we can quantify impacts of unhealthy urban development for the TRUUD project (https://truud.ac.uk).  My focus is on the societal costs of health, including direct and indirect costs such as healthcare and productivity costs, and non-market valuation techniques such as stated preference and contingent valuation.

Since 2015 I have contributed to national and international research projects for the University of Bath on energy recovery, food-energy-water nexus, climate change and healthy urban environments. Before starting my PhD I was the project co-ordinator for the Water Efficiency Network.

My background is in working towards the sustainable management of urban and rural world heritage sites in the South West UK.
