Background

About Tracey Crosbie

I am a Professor of Sustainability in the Built Environment in the School of Social Science Humanities and law at Teesside University. I am a trans-disciplinary academic with degrees in the social and technical sciences. I have been involved in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research associated with energy and sustainability in urban environments for more than 20 years. I have led successful research proposals and projects with over 80 different partners from industry academia and third sector organisations. These include large research institutes such as the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT), SINTEF (Norway), Fraunhofer (Germany) and the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), large industrial partners such as Siemens, Mitsubishi and IBM, SME’s such as DuneWorks (Holland), NOBATEK (France) and Universities such as Uppsala University (Sweden) Ramon Llull University (Spain) and IITB Bombay (India). I have published with individuals from over 40 of the organisations I have worked with including those from UK Universities such as Durham, Newcastle, Manchester, De Montfort and Northumbria. I am a visiting Professor at LPU in India. As is expected from a transdisciplinary academic my published work crosses disciplinary boundaries and can be found in journals associated with a wide number of disciplines including; urban studies, geography, ICTs, civil and electrical engineering, government policy and pedagogy.
