Bryn Pickering
I am an energy modeller, open-source scientific software developer, and advocate for open and reproducible energy models to support the energy transition. I am currently a Senior Energy Modeller at Open Energy Transition - a non-profit organisation advancing the adoption of open-source energy system modelling software and data across industry and the public sector - a lecturer on the University of Cambridge Energy Technologies MPhil course, and have been a lead developer of the Calliope energy system modelling tool since 2016.
Previously, I was the Arup Official Fellow in Engineering at Girton College, Cambridge, and a post-doctoral researcher at ETH Zürich. I continue to engage in research with international collaborators informally. My research focuses on the optimal design of resilient, climate-neutral energy systems, exploring the critical trade-offs required to transform how we meet energy demand. My research spans multiple spatial scales, from urban heat networks to continent-wide energy flows, and integrates insights from across disciplines to consider energy infrastructure within the broader systems that shape our lives.
