Alexis is the Shipping and Oceans Research Group Manager. He has been working in the Higher Education sector for over 15 years, and with the shipping and oceans team for the last 6 of those years.

Marie is a Senior Research Fellow at the Energy Institute of UCL. Her interests and areas of expertise include financial risks associated with low-carbon transitions and shipping finance. She holds a PhD focused on stranded assets in the shipping industry.

Annika is a UCL research fellow focused on ocean governance, decarbonising shipping, and ocean acidification. The German Academic Exchange Service funded Annika’s PhD dissertation which examined governance solutions for ocean acidification. Her interdisciplinary work spans law, science, and policy, informed by case studies and interviews. Annika actively contributes to the academic community through seminars, conferences, and an editorial role for the journal Transnational Environmental Law.

Pinar is a Research Fellow in the Shipping and Oceans Research Group, in UCL’s Energy Institute. Pinar’s work focuses on analysing socio‑technical transitions, alternative marine fuels, and sustainability frameworks in the pursuit of decarbonising the shipping sector. She holds a PhD in Human Geography from the University of Aberdeen and has experience in energy analysis, teaching, and policy consultancy.

Dola is a Senior Research Fellow in Energy and Transport Policy at UCL’s Energy Institute. Her work focuses on just and equitable global energy transitions, supporting African states in maritime decarbonisation through research, diplomacy, and capacity building, informed by over two decades of sustainable engineering experience.

Jesse is a PhD student in the UCL Energy Institute researching the structural evolution of Nigeria’s state-level electricity markets. His research bridges the gap between Energy market theory and microeconomics to identify market designs that deliver low-cost energy, enhanced grid security, and a clear path for renewable energy adoption.

Isabelle is a part time PhD student at UCL’s Energy Institute, where she investigates how multilateral development banks mainstream climate action among their financial intermediary clients. Alongside her academic research, she works as a Consultant for the World Bank, focusing on maritime transport. Prior to this role, she spent six years at UMAS International, where she led the organisation’s work on maritime climate policy.

James is a Research Assistant within the UCL Energy Institute Shipping Group where he specialises in the application of big data to understand current and future trends in the maritime shipping industry, as well as the potential implications of decarbonisation policy. His role has more recently evolved into facilitating the development of statistical capacity across states in the Caribbean, Pacific and Africa.
