Dr Jen Roberts is a Senior Lecturer and Chancellor’s Fellow in Energy at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. Jen works in the interdisciplinary field of energy systems and technical, social and environmental risk - with particular focus on net zero subsurface resources including CO2 storage.

A geoscientist by training, she still enjoys research on rocks and fluid flow from time to time!
