Originally from Scotland, Susan is an architect and researcher, with 18 years of experience across practice and academia. After practicing as an architect in London for 9 years, Susan relocated to Denmark in 2012 to begin her PhD, which explored the sociocultural and spatial dimensions of renewable energy infrastructures.

Susan’s key focus is behavioural design, which is one of GXN’s specialist fields, alongside circularity and technological innovation.
