Rate My Professor Nazmiye Ozkan

At Cranfield University, Professor Ozkan's academic interests encompass modelling and analysis of energy transitions at various scales, development of socio-technical frameworks for energy planning and policy, socio-spatial models for energy innovation, economics and distributional impacts of energy transitions including energy justice, energy systems analysis, integration of environment-economy-energy models, and social construction of smart grids with policy implications. Her influential publications include the highly cited 'Social barriers to the adoption of smart homes' (2013, 944 citations), 'The prospects of zero-packaging grocery stores to improve the social and environmental impacts of the food supply chain' (2017, 384 citations), 'European smart home market development: Public views on technical and economic aspects across the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy' (2014, 287 citations), and 'Regional distribution of photovoltaic deployment in the UK and its determinants: A spatial econometric approach' (2015, 272 citations). Recent contributions feature 'Towards a unified theory of domestic hydrogen acceptance: an integrative, comparative review' (2024), 'Gauging public perceptions of blue and green hydrogen futures: is the twin-track approach compatible with hydrogen acceptance?' (2024), 'Fuelling hydrogen futures? A trust-based model of social acceptance' (2025), and 'Synthesised innovation drivers and barriers in the energy sector' (2026). Through these works and leadership in grants on hydrogen production, renewable energy, and low-carbon aviation, she advances understanding of sustainable energy pathways.
