Meet The Team
Editor-in-Chief - Imperial: Humera Ansari
Humera is a PhD student in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. Her research focuses on understanding the gas storage mechanisms in shale and investigating the prospect of carbon dioxide injection in shale reservoirs for both enhanced recovery as well as carbon storage. She has a keen interest in getting people more involved with energy issues and what the future of energy might look like using the journal. She can be contacted at: humera.ansari10@imperial.ac.uk.
Executive Publisher: Sacha Corby
Having studied Chemistry (MChem) in her home city of Edinburgh, Sacha is a PhD student in the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London. Current writing her thesis, her research has been focused on solar energy conversion to sustainable fuels such as hydrogen. A keen advocate for science outreach and communication, Sacha hopes to inspire a broad interest in energy related matters amongst our readership. Email: s.corby16@imperial.ac.uk.
Director of Content Creation - Imperial: Adriaan Hilbers
Adriaan is a second-year PhD student in statistics applied to renewable energy. With previous degrees in mathematics, his Phd seeks to answer: how do we use data and computing to make the best decisions in the energy transition? As such, his research involves developing and applying statistics and machine learning to energy systems. He also writes general-audience publications on energy and statistics. You can find his webpage here and contact him by email: aph416@ic.ac.uk.
Director of Content Creation - LSE: Joseph Hubner
Joseph is a General Course student in international relations at the LSE, and an Undergraduate at Rice University. His research and interest is in the intersection of energy and geopolitics with a focus on the effect of resource wealth on good-governance and an understanding of energy supply as a determinant of foreign policy. As Director of Content creation for LSE, he hopes to help shape the debate surrounding the future of energy and its role in society. He can be contacted at j.n.hubner@lse.ac.uk.
Director of Content Creation - UCL: Niklas Edler

Director of External Relations - Imperial: David Redpath
David is currently pursuing a PhD in Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London. His research is rooted in the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry and optimizing value in exploration by better understanding sedimentary basins and their formation. He has interned at Equinor in Norway, during which he gained the perspective needed for the oil and gas industry to meet the energy demands of the future sustainably. He also sits on the Petroleum Group Committee for the Geological Society of London.
Director of Social Media - UCL: Farzaana Ali
Farzaana is currently a master’s student at UCL, studying Spatial Data Science and Visualisation. Previously, she completed her BEng in Civil Engineering, also at UCL.
