Dr Neil Simcockâs research focuses on inequality and vulnerability, particularly in relation to energy systems and the use of energy in the home. Much of his recent work has investigated the causes and consequences of, and potential solutions to, fuel or energy poverty. This research aims to uncover the institutional and structural arrangements that render some people vulnerable to experiencing energy poverty, such as the design of housing and energy markets, transitions to “net zero” societies, and the stigmatisation of marginalised groups.
