- Profile
-
I graduated from King’s College London in 2007 with an MSci (Hons) in Mathematics. I completed a PhD from UCL in 2011 on the modelling of fluid flow and ductile fractures, in the course of which I was a co-recipient of the IChemE Frank Lees Medal for my collaborative work with the HSE on CO2 pipelines safety.
I took up a research associate followed by a Teaching Fellowship at UCL, during which I participated in a number of projects sponsored by the EC, EPSRC, UKCCSRC and Industry.
In December 2015 I joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of ºù«Ӱҵ as a Lecturer.
- Research interests
-
My research focusses on mathematical modelling, process analysis and optimisation with a particular focus on clean energy processes, energy storage and energy systems. Key areas include:
- the development of agent-based models for energy systems and technology adoption
- techno-economic analysis of energy storage technologies
- scheduling and supply chain analysis
- Uncertainty quantification and Gaussian Processes
I welcome applications from prospective PhD students. If you are interested in projects in any of the above research areas, please contact me for further information (s.f.brown@sheffield.ac.uk)
