Liz Barker

PhD Candidate at the University of Stirling Behavioural Science Centre
14+ years of experience applying behavioural science in the private sector.
Research focus applying insights from behavioural science to drive sustainable behaviours and the transition to net zero.
Over 20 years of research and consulting experience with an academic foundation in Economics from Oxbridge.

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Stirling's Behavioural Science Centre. My research explores how to apply behavioural science to understand and accelerate the adoption of low carbon technologies such as heat pumps, heat networks, batteries, solar panels and electric vehicles.

Alongside my PhD I provide behavioural science consultancy for private and public sector and non-profit organisation clients. I leverage insights from behavioural science to help drive the transition to net zero, by increasing the adoption of low carbon technologies and sustainable behaviours.

Prior to my PhD, I built 13 years' consumer insight, research and consulting experience in applied behavioural science in the private sector. I have a further 7 years' experience in consulting, specialising in bridging the gap between academia and the private and public sectors for clients.

I have an MSc in Economics for Development from the University of Oxford and a BA in Economics from the University of Cambridge.

I am a member of Scotland Beyond Net Zero, Co-Lead of the Bescy Environmental Hub and co-Founder of the Scottish Behavioural Science Network.
