Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
The Team
Our Team
This project is a collaborative effort. Our core research team is based in the University of Oxford's Department of Engineering Science, specificallly within the Energy and Power Group. We are also incredibly thankful for contributions to this project from the Satellite Applications Catapult, Earth-i, and of course from the Zooniverse team.
University of Oxford Energy and Power Group
At the Energy and Power Group, we research system-level electrical innovations with potential for social and environmental impact. Here are the key Energy and Power Group researchers you'll see on this project:
Alycia Leonard is a doctoral student and Clarendon scholar in the Energy and Power Group at the University of Oxford. She researches studying the geospatial design of electrical systems for rural developing areas. Alycia is the most active researcher on this platform - you'll likely see her name on the Talk boards and announcements!
Dr Scot Wheeler is a postdoctoral researcher in the Energy and Power Group and a Fellow of the Oxford Martin Programme on Integrating Renewable Energy at the University of Oxford. His research focuses on energy systems analysis and the transition to clean, distributed energy systems. Scot helps us to coordinate and plan this project.
Prof Malcolm McCulloch is an Associate Professor in Engineering Science and the Group Leader of the Energy and Power Group. His diverse research career has included investigations in electric vehicles, demand-side management, renewable generation, and energy for development. Malcolm works with our partners and stakeholders to ensure Power to the People has maximum reach and impact.
Project Partners
Power to the People is part of the GeoDESA project, a joint initiative by the University of Oxford, including the Energy and Power Group and the Zooniverse team, as well as the Satellite Applications Catapult, and Earth-i.
Satellite Applications Catapult is a technology and innovation company aiming to drive economic growth through satellite-driven research. They aim to support UK industry by accelerating the growth of satellite applications and to contribute to capturing a 10% share of the global space market predicted by 2030. Satellite Applications Catapult provide support in coordinating satellite imagery acquisition and processing for this project.
Earth-I is a company supplying high-resolution image data services from the DMC3/TripleSat Constellation, KOMPSAT series of satellites and SuperView satellites. They also offer data processing to analytics to help the policy makers and innovators take more effective decisions more rapidly. They aim to deploy their own constellation of small, agile Earth Observation satellites in 2020. Earth-i capture and provide the satellite imagery necessary to this project.
