sustainable energy systems. She is an advocate of collaborative
working between public and private sectors; safety in design; and
using robust science to enable the safe transition to future energy
systems.
In her eight years at HSE Kate has delivered a number of
large-scale complex hydrogen and engineering projects for
organisations in the energy sector both UK and Internationally. Her
work has been published in the International Journal of Hydrogen
Energy. More recently working as part of HSE's Centre for Energy
Kate has been involved in scoping large scale international
prenormative hydrogen research projects; PRESLHY, HYTUNNEL-CS and
