My research work sits at the intersection of science, law, policy and lived experience. I am expert in exploring subjects where the evidence is complex, the stakes are high and the answers genuinely matter. I focus on generating insights that are carefully evidenced and, most vitally, useful in practice.

Case Study: Storytelling in Climate Litigation

I am currently leading a research project with the Foundation for International Law of the Environment (FILE), exploring how storytelling operates inside climate litigation. The focus is not communications but law itself: how cases are framed, how evidence is shaped, how judges and juries listen, and how decisions land in the world. The work involves interviews with lawyers, claimants and NGOs, close reading of cases and careful synthesis across disciplines.

The aim is to generate insights that can support FILE and its partners in designing stronger litigation strategies.

Case Study: Climate Spring

Climate Spring is a global organisation dedicated to shifting our cultural response to the climate crisis by championing storytelling in film, TV and popular culture. I am consulting on a range of projects, bringing my experience in storytelling, international law and climate litigation to dramatisations inspired by real-world legal cases.

Previously…

Throughout my career I have worked closely with scientists and research institutions, often as a collaborator rather than an observer. This included a period as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Oxford, working with theoretical quantum physicists on how to tell the story of their work as they sought to connect classical and quantum physics within a new Theory of Everything.

Across all my research work, I’m most interested in making complex systems legible and ensuring that research does not just sit on the page but has real-world practical impact.
