Lecturer, School of Management, Royal Holloway, University of London

Paul Haynes is a lecturer in the School of Management, Royal Holloway, University of London, and a member of the Centre for Research into Sustainability (CRIS). His research interests are energy policy, high-impact sustainability innovation, such as “green” technology, and the promotion of sustainable business practices and policies. His core research approach is analysing the ways networks and networking impact on innovation and the key entrepreneurial and marketing practices they afford, including branding, social innovation and the application of new technology.

He previously worked at Cambridge University as part of the research team at the Cambridge Centre for Climate Change Mitigation Research, engaged in energy technologies and carbon emission modelling, as well as responsible for communicating the impact of the research to key decision makers and policy stakeholders. His latest publications examine the policy options to address carbon emission reduction, and public participation in the energy planning process.

Dr Haynes holds an MA from Warwick University and a PhD from Lancaster University, with a thesis that examined the emergence of innovation and the role of non-linear dynamics on the use of new technologies. He has held post-doctoral research positions at Trinity College, Dublin, and the Saïd Business School, Oxford University and a college Lecturer position at Pembroke College, Cambridge.
