Dr. Malcolm Mcculloch

Biography

Malcolm McCulloch is a Professor and Group Leader in the Energy Systems Group at the University of Oxford. His work focuses on the domestic energy sector, where he develops user-centric demand-side management technologies aimed at encouraging behavioral change. He has led efforts to establish Intelligent Sustainable Energy, a company he founded, which has merged into Navetas Energy Management. His ongoing research explores the development of powertrains for electric vehicles, exemplified by his project on the Morgan LifeCar, which is recognized as the world's first hydrogen sports car. Additionally, he is involved in creating high-efficiency, low-weight motors using new materials, which has led to the establishment of Oxford Yasa Motors. Malcolm's collaboration with ICERT aims to create an Integrated Transport Network for Oxford. He has also contributed to renewable energy generation, notably through the development of novel lightweight, low-speed direct-coupled generators, including a transverse axis tidal turbine, which led to the founding of Kepler Energy. Moreover, he is working on technologies that leverage advanced intelligence to provide cost-effective nano and microgrid solutions, facilitating distributed electrification. Malcolm served as Co-Director of the Institute for Carbon Energy Reduction in Transport and was a member of the Oxford Martin School from 2008 to 2013.
