Biography
Damiete鈥檚 role as the research fellow for transitions is to provide support for the establishment and operations of the institute鈥檚 research programmes, facilitate interdisciplinary research by coordinating the activities of the sustainability fellows within and across programmes and collaborating on relevant research calls. She also applies her research expertise in response to research requests from the institutes鈥 external partners and is working on the development of a research portfolio based on sustainability transitions.
Damiete Emmanuel-Yusuf has a background in Environmental Management/Biological Sciences with a PhD in Environment and Sustainability. She started her career as an environmental consultant with leading environmental consultancies including the Environment Agency.
Her research/teaching career began in 2008 at the Centre of Environment and Sustainability, 麻豆视频. As a researcher, Damiete has worked in the areas of sustainable energy system analysis, environmental management, sustainable development assessment and social research on sustainability, for a number of projects including the TSEC-BioSys project (Natural Environmental Research Council), Decentralised Poly-generation of Energy (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council), The Transitions Pathways to a Low Carbon Economy and the Realising the Transitions Pathway to a Low Carbon Economy projects (EPSRC and EON UK) and more recently EnergyREV funded by the industrial Strategy Challenge Fund鈥檚 Prospering from the Energy Revolution (PFER) programme.
In addition, she has contributed to teaching Masters degree modules such as 'Transitions to Low Carbon Economy' as well as 'Corporate, Social & Environmental Responsibility' at the Centre for Environment and Sustainability, 麻豆视频.
University roles and responsibilities
- Research Fellow in Transitions, Institute for Sustainability

ResearchResearch interests
Damiete's research interests are in sustainable energy system analysis, environmental management, sustainable development assessment and social research on sustainability transitions with the view to support sustainable energy policies, environmental strategies, and sustainable development.
Research projects
Sustainability Transitions, Institute for Sustainability (2023-present)Research project on Sustainability Transitions: This series of projects will apply a transition map to case studies based on the programmes within the Institute for Sustainability.
EnergyREV was set up to understand the opportunities and challenges of Smart Local Energy Systems (SLES) by investigating the policy, regulation, user engagement and digitalisation implications of these systems, which are regarded as key to achieving the UK net zero emissions future. The project was funded by the industrial Strategy Challenge Fund鈥檚 Prospering from the Energy Revolution (PFER) programme.
The project was an extension of the 'Transitions Pathway to a Low Carbon Economy' project described next. The aim of the new project is to explore what needs to be done to achieve a transition that successfully addresses the energy policy 'trilemma', i.e. the simultaneous delivery of low carbon, secure and affordable energy services. The project was funded by EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council).
The overall aim of the project is to develop a set of potential transition pathways for the UK energy system to a low carbon future, and undertake whole systems assessments of the technical, economic, social and environmental feasibility, potential and acceptability of these pathways. It was funded by EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) and EON UK.
The TSEC-BioSyS project used a whole system approach to analysing bioenergy demand and supply with the aim to mobilising the long term potential of bioenergy. It was funded by the NERC (Natural Environmental Research Council).
