Energy Society: Energy Journal Coordinator

Energy is a matter (or lack-thereof hahaha*) that far transcends mere watts and joules - it is a conversation, a constantly evolving dialogue between science, policy, and society. I'm standing for Journal Coordinator because I want to shape that conversation. 

As editor-in-chief of my school newspaper, I learned how to distill complexity into compelling narratives—and, just as importantly, how to help others do the same. My studies as a physics undergrad have given me an excuse to freak and geek over emerging energy technologies, which I took full advantage of as a research analyst for UCL’s ESG Society, writing on thermoelectric materials and quantum computing for energy optimization. Exploring the bleeding edge of energy innovation is something I hope to extrapolate to this journal as well.

As Journal Coordinator, I’d ensure this journal isn’t just informative but electrifying—bridging technical depth with engaging storytelling, making energy discourse as dynamic as the field itself.

*I'm quite aware that the 'matter' joke was bad. My keen self-awareness and unchecked humour is also something I intend to bring to the journal :)

I'm running for Energy Journal Coordinator again because I’m passionate about creating a space where students can explore and discuss important energy issues and a platform where they can share their work in a meaningful way. Since I’ve done this role before, I’ve gained great experience in running the journal, handling challenges that come with it, I’d love to continue with that and take the journal even further, reaching a wider audience and making a bigger impact.

My experience managing a team-based project on pollution has also given me key organizational skills that are perfect for this role. I coordinated weekly results, so that we met deadlines and present a strong final report at the start of the academic year. That experience really showed me how important clear communication and teamwork are when trying to achieve a shared goal, both of which are crucial for managing a journal.

In addition to teaching me how to manage my time effectively and meeting deadlines in a timely manner, my part-time job also taught me how to balance other obligations with my studies. I am committed to maintaining the journal's high standards, developing meaningful academic relationships, and making sure that our society continues to have a genuine, positive impact.
