Paula is an energy consultant specialising in the energy transition and decarbonisation, with a particular focus on hydrogen and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS).

She holds a PhD from Cranfield University, where her research combined computational chemistry and artificial intelligence to optimise blue hydrogen production and storage through the sorption-enhanced steam methane reforming (SE-SMR) process.

Before undertaking her PhD, Paula worked in emissions control within the clean air sector. She also holds an MSc in advanced chemical engineering from Imperial College London and a BEng in chemical engineering from Aston University.
