Research Interests and Activities
Kimberley's research explores the relationships between energy poverty (fuel poverty), energy use behaviours, energy efficiency of housing and buildings, and the important interactions of these with health. She has expertise in energy poverty and health research, and consumer experiences and impacts of prepay electricity. Kim undertakes mixed methods, participatory, internet mediated, and qualitative research – design and analysis. Recent research focuses on youth experiences of energy poverty at home, using collaborative research methods to involve young people in the research process, and a side interest is energy use among people who work from home.
