Hannah E. Murdock has worked in the energy and climate sector since 2011, focusing mainly on sustainable transport and mobility since 2018, and has held various roles working within NGOs, international organisations, academia, and consulting in the US and Europe.
She has authored or co-authored dozens of publications, contributed as an advisor or reviewer to innumerable others, participated in several international advisory boards, and has made frequent presentations and keynote addresses at conferences around the world.
In 2021, she began her doctoral research as a President’s Scholar in the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial College London (UK), while concurrently serving as Seminar Leader in Energy Economics and Policy in the Imperial Energy Futures Lab and Research Partner in Sustainable Transport at REN21. She is also an affiliated researcher of the Grantham Institute on Climate Change & the Environment, UK Medical Research Council (Environment & Health), and UK Economic and Social Research Council (Interdisciplinary Social Science). Hannah embraces interdisciplinarity in her research, both in subject matter and in methods.
Her work lies at the intersection of sustainability, psychology, and public policy, with her PhD thesis focusing on decarbonising transport while maximising co-benefits, particularly health and equity. She analyses the impact of policies, planning, and behaviour using both computational and traditional social science methods to produce data-driven recommendations.
She holds master’s degrees in public administration from the University of North Texas (US) and in international affairs (energy) from the SciencesPo Paris School of International Affairs (France), as well as bachelor’s degrees in psychology, French, and political science.
In her free time, she enjoys being in nature, travelling, and participating in various sports activities, particularly rock climbing, cycling, and football/soccer.
