Nathan is a multi-disciplinary scientist working in the fields of energy, land use, and climate change. He holds a BSc in Natural Sciences (first-class honours), an MSc in Energy Policy (with distinction), and a PhD in Energy Systems Modelling from Imperial College London. Nathan's research centres on modelling solutions for decarbonising the global economy and mitigating climate change. His PhD applied the well-known Stabilization Wedge framework to estimate the climate impact of a diverse set of technological, behavioural, and natural climate solutions. He has worked on a variety of projects, including techno-economic assessments of hydrogen energy storage technologies, modelling hourly energy demand globally, and quantifying the climate impacts of dietary changes. Nathan co-developed Demand.ninja, an open web platform that simulates hourly space heating and cooling demand for buildings, cities, and nations worldwide. He works as a consultant for Imperial Consultants and contributes to the Electric Insights project's quarterly reports on supply, demand, pricing, and environmental impacts of Britain's electricity. His project partners include SSE and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. Additionally, Nathan delivers lectures and seminars to students at the Centre for Environmental Policy and elsewhere in the College, and supervises MSc students throughout the academic year.
