Welcome to my personal website
I'm Mike Fell, an energy research at University College London. My UCL research asks who is able to benefit from a flexible, low-carbon energy system, on what terms, and how developments in AI might come to affect this.
Outside work I build and run various personal projects, which are more or less related to my research interests.
If you have an idea that sits across any of these, or an opportunity to exhibit, write or speak, please get in touch.
Research
- Flexibility and fairnessWho is able to shift their energy use, who gains when they do, and on what terms.
- AI agents and energyAI agents that act for households in the energy system, and how people stay in charge of them.
- Local and peer-to-peer energyHow people might buy, sell and share electricity locally, and what they want from those arrangements.
- Methods and open researchRealist evidence synthesis, transparent and reproducible research, open science, and games in research.
