To share career advice and best practice as well as bringing women perspectives to energy research and policy
Professor Nazmiye Ozkan has a chair in Sustainable Energy Transitions and is head of Centre for Energy Systems and Strategy at Cranfield University in the UK. She is the UK National Director of the global Hydrogen Production Technologies (HyPT) Centre, funded by the USA, UK, Canada and Australia governments. She will be leading the economics, policy and markets work package for the development of responsible and net-zero hydrogen technologies and systems. Building on her interdisciplinary training as an urban planner, her research focuses on energy systems modelling and spatial understanding of energy system transitions and associated implications for policy and planning. Using mixed methods, her research develops socio-technical frameworks, models and tools. She led and took part several projects on how the hydrogen economy may develop in the UK, including in road and air transport and domestic sectors. She was a secondee to the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change, Strategy Directorate to provide analytical support to the ‘Carbon Plan’ using UK MARKAL Energy System model in 2011. Nazmiye holds a PhD in Regional Planning from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA.
