Sophie has a masters in Engineering Design from the University of Bristol, where she specailised in civil structures, renewable energy, and sustainable systems thinking. Having completed multiple engineering work placements across buildings and rail, she joined Regen in 2020 as an analyst, focusing on challenges around whole system decarbonisation and in particular, heat.
Alongside continuing to develop her technical energy expertise, Sophie has a keen interest in policy and the wider impacts of energy on places, health, and livelihoods. She co-leads the development of Regen’s just transitions work and runs the ESN’s safety and sustainability working group, which aims to drive progress on ethics issues associated with stationary batteries.
Sophie is also proudly interdisciplinary and passionate about the power of storytelling, which is why she set up and runs the Regen Art Lab. She also has graphic design expertise, which she uses to support the team to tell compelling data stories.
Sophie’s most recent work includes producing the second edition of National Grid’s “A day in the life of 2035” report, and she is currently working with the Carbon Trust to support Welsh Government to develop their Heat Strategy.
