Tristan talks to us about his long association with UCL, and his work making the global shipping industry more environmentally friendly. What is your role and what does it involve? . I'm an Associate Professor in Energy and Transport, leading a research group focused on shipping. I do teaching, research, enterprise and engagement activities that revolve around the decarbonisation of this watery transport mode - which means figuring out the way demand, efficiency and energy transition (from oil to batteries, wind and hydrogen-derived fuels) might reach zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the next 20 years, through a combination of industry and policy actions. How long have you been at UCL and what was your previous role? . A long time - I did an MSc, PhD and RA position in UCL mechanical engineering and then an RA, lectureship and now associate professorship in the Bartlett.
