She tells us about navigating the world of STEM and what drives her ambition:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a Chartered Environmentalist, STEM Ambassador and also a mother of two boys. My journey into science began after watching a TV series by the marine biologist Martha Holmes and being inspired to explore the natural world in more detail. Seeing a female lead on primetime television as a ten-year old had a great impact on me thinking &#8216;I could do that&#8217;.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3503\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_3503\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3503 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2021\/02\/Claire-Brown-cropped.jpg\" alt=\"Claire Brown\" width=\"360\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2021\/02\/Claire-Brown-cropped.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2021\/02\/Claire-Brown-cropped-300x259.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_3503\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PhD researcher and Chartered Environmentalist Claire Brown.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>A change of career<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;After 15 years in the public, private and third sector, I returned to academia in 2018 to pursue a PhD.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My interest lies with how a changing climate will undoubtedly affect our homes in the future; overheating will become a mainstream issue. The housing we build should be suitable for now, but also for the future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change is a unique partnership including the universities of East Anglia, Cardiff, Newcastle, Sussex and Fudan University in Shanghai and celebrates its 21st birthday this year. It is such an important partnership of social, natural and engineering academics focussing on mitigation and adaption for climate change. What I love is the mix of projects and people I get to work with. I have colleagues from Chile, Spain and Columbia and with diverse projects based in the UK and Malawi, this is part of the appeal of my research group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My research is in the early stages of looking at how housing could be part of the solution \u2013 by reducing the energy demand and therefore reducing the associated carbon emissions that are attributed to residential properties in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Carbon emissions in UK homes account for 40%, making it a key area for research and a priority for attention. The University of Manchester has targets for zero-carbon by 2038, in line with Manchester City Council\u2019s targets for a zero-carbon city.<\/p>\n<h2>Building sustainable social housing for the future<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;For me, social housing, or housing provided by a local council or agency, supports vulnerable people and low-income families in having somewhere safe to call home. If these homes are not climate resilient to the changing climate, these same families run the risk of being most affected by changes to temperatures. The heat wave in 2003 caused in excess of 2,193 deaths (<a href=\"https:\/\/committees.parliament.uk\/committee\/62\/environmental-audit-committee\/news\/100427\/heatrelated-deaths-set-to-treble-by-2050-unless-govt-acts\/\">Environmental Audit Committee, 2018<\/a>) and it is known that overheating affects the health and wellbeing of tenants in social housing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My research is looking directly at current social housing being built in the UK and using climate change scenarios to see how it might perform in 2050 or even 2080. By using a computer model, I will be able to see how the housing will perform using the predicted weather files.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This will help me to understand what changes might need to take place to the building to prevent human health issues such as heat exhaustion. It will also provide valuable insight into how the energy demand of the building might change and, as such, any potential change to the cost of running the property. Fuel poverty and particularly cooling poverty might become a future issue that families will have to deal with. Families already burdened with winter heating costs could now face issues of keeping cool and having to pay for cooling in their homes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3507 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2021\/02\/Sustainable-homes-hands.jpg\" alt=\"Small green house in adult and child's hands\" width=\"768\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2021\/02\/Sustainable-homes-hands.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2021\/02\/Sustainable-homes-hands-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Filling the gender gap to make a positive difference<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;We have an opportunity to help inform the research, which can then provide guidance to those who are involved in policy making in whichever country you are based.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As women, we have a perspective that needs to be heard and considered.
